    you will want 3 channel. Any lt1 z28 should have the rear end you are looking for.

    I used to have a v6 car and I did get a 4 channel rear end to work on it.. but I lost my TCS as well as my ABS. On my v6 3 channel car the sensor is on the top of the pumpkin, on the 4 channels like plum nuts said the sensors are at each wheel. 4 Channels also have an extra brake line if I recall, we swapped my v6 stuff onto the 4 channel rear, but the wiring/sensor differences couldnt be changed.

    To correct the speedo for the new gear ratio you can get a tuning program or have a dealer reflash your computer for the new gears.

            My car had a transplant before I got it. I have been trying to find out exactly what is needed and what I'm missing. I noticed a lot of stuff that was unplugged, ends cut off etc. When I got it about 4 months ago. Is there any reason someone would have ran a couple new wires to the ECM?......Just curious because mine has a couple running to it but I can't tell where they go. I'm not 100% sure they even used the correct wiring harness on the motor??.....
            Thanks,
            Stephen
