Re: Need gears and spool for 55-62 Corvette rear
 

Wade,
PJ305 called it right. If your building a stocker I'm pretty sure you can use a 12 bolt. Travis get's on here quite a bit. He's tech in Div 3.

Re: Need gears and spool for 55-62 Corvette rear
 

Pretty clear to me (not reading or quoting directly), your allowed a corporate type PASSENGER car rear-end. As the '62 'Vette is a non-IRS rear, it's a simple swap to a GM (non-truck) rear. To be safe, I would say that it should be from a post-1960 GM passenger cars as the stock guide (or rules) do not have allowances for vehicles pre-1960 vehicles. Don't forget, it's dictated the width of the replacement rear has to be identical to stock width.
Killer combination with any of the 327's!
Have fun..

Wade..... it's NO PRBLEM AT ALL.

I have a 3800 pound 62 Chev full size car, Jerico, with nearly a 100 ft pounds more torque than a small block.
The rear has been trouble free. I also have a couple dozen customers who have purchased a similar arrangement from me.... no failures ( these are all in 55-64 passenger cars ).

You can PM me, and I'll give you the info on how to go about it.
