has anyone ever converted the solid rear axle to a late model (85-up) corvette independent rear suspension? im sure some sort of rear subframe would have to be fabricated. i have a rear end out of a '97 Corvette

 

If you try doing a search, I think there is a member who has done this before. I stumbled on the post when looking for something else. It seems that it can be done, but I couldn't give you the details on it

 

this guy did it but has no email links to ask questions. it does has a good set of pics to look at

Why would you want to if youre running any kind of power? Those rears suck.

 

run a Dana44 pumpkin (or any other center you want)

then use the suspension/chassis pieces

very strong, good hooking IRS rear.



the IRS itself isnt a bad design.. its just that most IRS cars are powerless from the factory, so the rears are kinda weak.
