GM Stocker rear end choice

Rich Biebel · 01-25-2009, 11:01 AM

With a weight of 3900lbs and a predicted ET range of 10.80's, I have to assume this is a bigger cube engine. It takes a lot of power to run 10.80's at that weight. I would not race that with anything smaller than a 12 bolt if it was a GM vehicle. Breaking rear ends is not fun.....

Yes, in asking around I'm getting the same answer, 12 bolt it is, thanks all.

Just for curiosity's sake,what are you thinking of building that weighs 3900 pounds and goes 10.80's? A 427 Caprice or something? Yes, a 12 bolt is the right choice.
