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
This would be a second gen F body crate motor car. I would love to score a deal like I did back in the 70's, that 67 in my avatar had a Dana 60 out of a Cuda.... Practically fell in the car, the parking brake cables even hooked up, 1 1/2 narrower than the 8.2 ten bolt that I blew up in it. I couldn't find a twelve bolt back then for the love of money, stumbled on the Dana for 200.00!
