This is an assembly line installed Dana/Spicer 44 rear in an '82 Z28:



But back to Rod's question...why wouldn't you want to run a 12 bolt? -Al

Well, I stand corrected.

Billy, many years ago I parted out one of these cars for the engine. I didn't want to let the shell go with the Spicer rear in it but a hard hit on the rt. rear had tweaked the caliper and rotor and I figured the axle tube was wonky. In retrospect, I should have pulled the rear end.

I remember the 1983 being stick only, but not sure on the other HO years. Maybe some folks out there would have to convert to a stickshift?

I recall NHRA pulling back the Baby LT combo to automatic only so it isn’t out of reach for NHRA to correct that 305 HO spec to stick only if warranted. ( I don’t know for sure either)
