Only Corvette C4 specific Dana 36 gearsets to my knowledge.

OEM GM/ Dana- Spicer & aftermarket such as Richmond Gear.

On my 1990 Vert auto;I went from 2.73 to 3.54's and it was a Richmond gear set for a 2 series carrier.

I went with the Richmond 3.75 ring and pinion. It will fit a Dana 36 if the original gears were the usual 2.59 variety. You would need a different case to run the 3.07 gears. Don't forget the install kit you will need for the change over as well as posi oil and gear oil.

I am very pleased with the performance of the 3.75 and am glad I didn't wimp out for the 3.54 set. Out of the hole is spectacular!
