Buy the new 12-bolt and sell the 8.2 to someone who’s restoring a GTO.
Makes the most economic sense. If you play your cards right you’ll end up with a new 12-bolt for somewhere around $2k to 2.5k.
The cheaper local bargain rear end will likely be a disappointing waste of money, the new rear end built to your specs is a sure thing.
I wouldn’t invest another penny in that 8.2 rear.
