dude grab the one out of the car you pulled the tensioner from. There has to be a local option. Maybe coldaccord has something?

the car i got the tensioner from was a 330. from what i understand those have a different driveshaft flange then the 323/325/328. the only rear diff’s i ever see are for e36 and i dont think those interchange? could be wrong

edit…you got me thinking. why not check ebay. i forgot about ebay as i havent been on there in a long time haha…just located one and did a buy it now for 250 shipped. so the car is going from a 3:07 ratio to a 3:46 ratio while getting a replacement with less then half the miles out of a southern car from florida. not bad compared to what the junkyards wanted

> luke, youll be spending more then 10k. let me know when you do that project, ive spent some time around them lol. as for 350-400hp in one, they run a bit better then you think. a BONE STOCK 5.3 in a fully body full interior 2nd gen s10 with the automatic (~3400 lbs) runs low to mid 12’s in the 1/4 mile.

I can live with that…thanks for the offer to give me some insight.
