14 Bolt?
So, I just got an offer from a friend for a 14 bolt rear axle. I dont have any specifics just yet since the offer came through a different friend, and I cant get ahold of the first friend. So the question is, can I make this thing fit easily (preferably some adapter to make it a bolt on
) I did a quick google search without much luck, my search terms just dont seem to be getting me good results, so again I turn here. Anyone know?

Well it doesnt matter, the 14 bolt at a minimum uses 6 lugs for the wheels...I'm not in th market for new rims, nor do I know if I could get a 16 or 17 inch rims with 6 lugs...

Leave the 14 bolts for the hardcore 4 wheelers. 12 bolt is all you would EVER need. And it wouldn't eat all your HP either. And lets not talk about unsprung weight...

Well I think I will head to the local speed shop tomorrow and see what they have for used rears. I cant search these forums for 12 bolts so if I come across a used 12 bolt does it need to be modified to fit in the F-Body, or are there adapter kits/etc? I really just want my car back, and after it runs for a month I will probably make it a project car, and buy myself a vette since in a month I will be graduated and actually making money
