I highly doubt it only has 30k..., but I talked to the guy I just have no way of testing the posi...besides I dont even know how I would test it or ask him to test it. Thanks.

I have one other one im looking at from ruqwik..so i hope something falls through

 

turning one wheel should turn the other wheel opposite directions, but with a quick jerk, the wheels should lock and both turn the same direction, I think its something like 15ft-lbs torque to get them to lock.

 

I almost bought this axle over a year ago. It belongs to a forum member here named "Kid Vette". Surprised he hasn't posted it here but I can tell you these are the same pics he sent me then. I think we debated whether it was really a posi and we proved it was with these pics. I can't remember what he was selling it for then and I can't find the thread.

Phil was his name. I was already to go get it when something changed my plans (prolly didn't have the transportation for it).

 

My you could pay less at PNP for a rearend that hasn't been parted out and sitting around with the cover off.

 

If this is kid vette, stay away!

 

Complete clown!

 

Ok thanks. See thats why i asked for your guys advice....What about ru-qwik from this site?...he has a 10 bolt auburn pro series posi 3.73. Says it has 2500 miles since rebuild. Anyone know anything about this one. Im figuring 200 should be worth it. Im almost scared that 3.73 will be overkill.

 

ru-qwik is an awesome guy and he would have no reason to lie

 

I hate to bug you guys but do u think 3.73's would be overkill? My cars a 350 with mild cam, 1.6 rockers, hooker exhaust, afpr, k&n...new 700r4. Thanks

 

Yeah 3.73 is definitely overkill...you better let me take that off your hands for ya

Seriously though, my car is my DD, so I probably wouldn't go over 3.42 for gas mileage.

 

not overkill for your combo IMO, just depends if you can tolerate the rpm's in overdrive or not

 

Thank you sir !!

I have only ever had one deal go bad on something I sold, won't go into any details, but even still, it wasn't bad...

I had this rear in a 92' Z28 , 383ci. built 700r4 and it ran great. I did not think the RPM's were bad on the freeway, don't recall what they were, but it wasn't bad. My 68' Chevelle with a 396ci. th350 and 4:11 , that was bad !! I have a 355ci TPI and the 700r4 from that Z28 currently in my 57' Chevy and have a 3:55 gear, I actually wish the 3:73 was in it... I had planned to narrow this 10 bolt and put it in the 57' but am thinking of building a 12 bolt instead.
The posi worked absolutely perfect, gears were quiet, no issues whatsoever! You will need to get fresh fluid and some posi additive ( I had a tube of "equitorque" in it from Kragens) since I have just removed the brakes and the axles need to be pulled to do do..very easy... Anyways, I'll call you tomorrow.

Nice to meet you! That rear should give you many years of enjoyment !!

Thanks again !!

 

yeah definitely...Good looking piece. Cant wait to try it out. Thanks again.

 

chill out man...i probably would have gotten urs but sac was too far for me....I offered you PLENTY of gas money as an incentive to bring it to fresno or at least meet me half way. If its a good rear end then Im sure you wont have any problems getting rid of it. good luck

 

Since we're talking rear ends, will a 4th generation rear axle fit in my 1983 Camaro? Will it need mods to work? Same width? Same torque arm setup/mounts?

Are 4th gen diffs stronger than the 3rd gens?

And, if I was going to put in a new rear end and wanted to upgrade to disc brakes at the rear, would I have to change my brake master cylinder? If so, is there an easy replacement master cylinder? I'm not stressing over parking brake issues because I have a MICO brake setup to handle PB action. I could actually just use front calipers off of something.

Thanks.

 

The rears on fourth gens are slightly wider. otherwise, direct bolt up, dont know if they are really any stronger though, they still break just as often, but on a mild TPI, should be just fine.

 

i tried calling you back but no answer,i had a ride out there and everything,enjoy your new rear,3.73 is no joke

 

lmfao,thats all im a post bout traviz im done this dude is really gay,don't ban me im thourgh with the jokes lmfao


Edit: Attachment removed, PM #2 sent to Kidd Vette.

 

 

Immaturity and blatant ignorance is instantly proven upon anybody who seriously uses the word "gay" as a generic insult.

 

whatever can we all just get along,its always traviz starting **** with people and yall always backing him up i don't know why just look at him lol,one punch from me and dude whole body would collapse the guy thinks hes bruce lee over the internet but im not even going to go there,all im asking is for respect and ill show respect to yall ever since i came on here most of yall just criticize me,yall act like yall perfect and never got lazy on the keyboard sometimes i do hey my bad but we all thirdgenners why can't we all get along **** mustang guys be showing me more respect than some of yall on here and i hate stangs but if i offended any of yall my bad i won't do it nomore,i love thirdgens specially corvettes

 

my next project for my car is a procharged ls2 402 stroker i got a homie that builds sbc,,lsx ect engines and do swap projects but thats in the future like a yr or two from now when i have that kind of money to spend hehe

 

reason people like me, I know them all in real life, I can get away with more stuff that way, you come here talking right back and you have no one that knows who you are really, so they take it as you post.

 

thats good for you actually i know a few people on here but if i make it to the gtg we all will meet if i finish my car in time and im sure things will be different

 

Damn... Im almost sorry for even starting such a basic thread....Im sure if i had gotten the rear from kiddvette this would have never gotten to where it is now. Anyways thanks everyone for their advice...im glad I bought the rear from ruqwik...Ill send some pics as soon i find some lt1 brakes to put on it. For now can we just kill this thread?? its getting pretty annoying.

 

Don't show up please, save everyone a scene.
