56 Chevy rear axle?

[QUOTE=Mark Yacavone;618405]We had Chrysler side gears and Henry's Axles in 1970...because we had to.

Likewise, Chrysler side gears, Henry's axles, shim the clutch pack tight, torque up those weird left hand bolts, then weld the two halves together. Add steel caps and longer cap bolts and it might be good for a few runs with a stick car. Not sure when we first tried this, 67 or 68.

I still have a couple of hams on the shelf that have Stahl & Associates heat treated MOPAR posi side gears to go with my Henry’s Axles in my 1962 Corvette

You also need a steel bearing cap and stack the posi plates 1 internal tang and 1 external tang to make it a locker....

I also welded a doubler plate and 1/2-20 nut to the rear of the housing, so I could tighten it up against the cap for strength....

Don’t forget there are 2 types of posi cases, 1 with 90 degree ramps and the other 120 degree ramps...

I ran either 3.70’s or 5.38’s on the street back in Brooklyn........
