RE: [Chevelle-List] was corvette rear, is oil pump

[Tigergutt]

I've already got a 12 bolt and I will probably keep it for a while. If I ever try the corvette rear thing I will let you know how it goes.   Guys: when you put on the bottom of the oil pump do you seal it in any way ? I mean do you use silicone or something.   thanks !   Andr�     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: 20. januar 2002 02:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] corvette rear Your friend must be a world-class wrench or he is greatly understating the difficulty. A 12 bolt rear is stronger,simpler,and cheaper.

Why do you think it's to difficult to put it under a chevelle ? do you think I would have to build a new floor ? One of my friends in Norway have installed one under his '57 chevy pickup, he said installation was a snap, well nearly a snap at least. I know a chevelle is a quite different car than a 57 pickup, but anyway. What I was thinking is: a rear disk kit would cost about $ 500, or lets say $ 800 with taxes and shipping. the corvette rear is $ 1000 plus another $ 500 in shortening driveshaft and a new master and small parts etc.   Andr�     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: 19. januar 2002 03:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] corvette rear I see them going for around $1,000 to $1,500. Width? I "think" they are approximately 60" but don't hold me to that number. If you're thinking about putting one under a Chevelle,,forget it. Too much money and trouble.

Dana 44 is also stamped on the housing.

I mean the "big" ones from manual trannies from the "small" ones from automatics.   Thanks   Andr�
