Re: [Chevelle-list] 12-bolt rear

[Herb Lumpp]

Hi Larry,   It's a 4x4 with a mild 350.  Tires are 33" and currently the gears are stock 3.08.  I was just thinking about what to do down the road and have considered the 14 bolt route but decided against it.  If/when it comes time to upgrade, I'll probably see if one of the aftermarket companies can put together either a 12 bolt or 9" for it.  For what I intend to do, either one of those will be able to handle it.   Herb -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 10:04 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 12-bolt rear Herb: Is this a 2 wheel drive or 4 x 4 ? I ran a 500 hp 454 in my 4 x 4 Blazer and broke 3 -12 bolts (big tires-373 posi). Finally put a 14 bolt corporate (410) under it and never had another problem with rearends. But then I had to deal with 8 lugs. Incidentally the car 12 bolt ring & pinion is the same size as the truck 12 bolt ring & pinion. (but I do not know if they will interchange).                                                       Larry (Z)
