DANG!!! That looks like someone has been doing some 300 yard burnouts!! Let me axe you a question, as we say in the hood - what is the longest stretch of consecutive time that car has been on the road? Is it in days? Weeks? It seems like every time I hear about that red beast, it's on a lift somewhere. The common thread MAY be Paul's right foot, which was bionically upgraded several years ago using high concentrations of lead.

when i was running the 383 she was on the road most the time.... Then I snapped the 383's crank.... so i built a 427 SBC for her.... took me a full year, so now I'm working out the bugs.... she should be very reliable within the next 2 months... the rear end will be done in 2 weeks... every piece in it will be polished, rem coated, and cyroed before Danny Chris and I assemble it back.

Now that brought a tear to my eye.
I have built a number of C5 differentials, but I have never seen the inside of a C3. I would like to come by and watch the assembly if possible.
I know you don't care fore C5 types, but I can keep my mouth shut when I am learning.

but I figure I'm going to have to work through a few bugs... I have built the car a bit beyond its original....... Abilities?
But... the new one will be far superior in strength. 
sure Ill fins something new to break
yea, you'r more than welcome to come on out after I get all the new hardened 30 spline parts in and have the carrier polished and every single part ring pinion carrier spider gears bearings,,, everything, Cyro'ed and REM coated... then we will assemble and install..
And I liks C5's!!!! I have one, and Danny has the C5 427 Guldstrand.. And Chris has a C4, and I used to own a C4, and there mom has the C6 ZO6.... I like all corvettes..... I just love my C3... had her since I was 21yo...

wow!!
And that is an understatement ...
Watch the video... it is so highly polished it looks like chrome...
And... back from Cyro and REM work, along with de-burring....
So, what do you think???
click picture to see video:
Remember what they looked like before REM:

It's like Xmas morning!
Does this mean we'll see you at the Valley GTG in December or January?

... it was the Eaton carrier that was popped.... and the half axles were twisted....
Well, I knew I did not want to go through this again, and with my 650hp 427 it was going to happen over and over again until i do something different... So, I say out to do just this.
One of the first choices was to go to a 12 bolt by Toms... The problem I had with that is the 12 Bolt does not come in the 3.55 ratio that was best for my road racing which match my gearing well.... and i knew the 12 bolt was much heavier to spin up and pull down... Two things that were not acceptable to me... so, there's got to be another way...
So, I set out to build a SUPER 10 Bolt rear end... and here it is....
I will have to let Mike, tracdogg2 give most of the story of what the differences are and how different this rear end is...
My Boys, Danny and Chris, and I have assembled several rear-ends and it is a couple of hours job,,, thats for a standard rear-end,....... this was anything but standard. Mike had to do lathing milling and machine work to make all the larger pieces fit...like larger pin, larger half shafts, and more....
SOME of the differences are:
30 spline half shafts, as compared to 17 spline stock
larger half shafts
larger pin
all gears and all parts completely heat treated, not just tips
known strongest USA made ring and pinion US GEAR
ALL parts Cyro treated
ALL parts REM coated
All parts hand demurred and polished
heavy duty forged cap
Quote from Mike:
I have to admit the cryo did something to the metal. It is definitly denser and harder to cut compared to any other carrier.
Mike
He also stated to me that he had to slow down the lath to 25rpm, something he has never had to do, and went through 3 bits... as he usually never even goes through even 1... this is hard metal.
here are some pics, the first is a video, click it to watch.
