Default C2 HD rear end assembly source?

ok so who sells a complete heavy duty rear end assembly for a C2. I will have a 650 horse 427 small block, a Tremec 600 trans and want a bullet proof rear end. Looking for the whole setup except brakes

You really have a number of options, it just depends on how much money you want to spend and how you intend to use the car.

You might want to send a PM to Mike Dyer (aka tracdogg2) and discuss it with him to see what you really need.

Good luck... GUSTO

I do intend to thrash it and don't want to worry about the rear end breaking.

If you put slicks on the car, with that kind of power, in addition to the rear end, better make sure that you have HD half shafts and rear spindles, or you will just transfer the breakage to another part.

Just in case you don't know who Tom is: Here is their catalog

http://www.tomsdifferentials.com/tomp.html

Look into the 30 and 31 spline parts. I used his entire package 1/2 shafts outer spindles and rear end parts. very nice pieces. Not cheap but worth it if your car makes power.
