I got the housing for free but if I had to buy one I would definitly buy a 12 bolt for a g-body. The GM 8.5 10 bolts for a g-body are like hens teeth and super expensive to buy compaired to a 12 bolts from strange for 6-700 bucks (housing only). For a Camaro-Nova...if you have a 8.5...dont be scared. They will last under extreme abuse...and GM 12 bolts for these cars are way expensive...i think some people think there made out of platnum and gold. In factory form there garbage...my 2 cents.


PS...LPW girdle is a must for a 10 or 12 bolt. Plus they look cool. Not as cool as a Gold Moroso tin cover though

Who carries this girdle? "LPW girdle is a must for a 10"

I like the idea of the 35 spline axles and spool. Advantage is the cost of the housing. Disadvantage is the selection of gears. I've seen up to 5:57's, this would be more than you'd need in a stocker motor that likely will never exceed 7000 rpm.

What kind of times you turn with your H/CM car? You running the 330 HP crate motor?
