Rear end differences
Can anybody explain the differences between the c3's and c4's rear ends? Also, I know the early to 1979 were iron and after that came the aluminum type but how do these stack up to the d36 and 44? Thanks Mike

The 71-79 is the strongest in stock form and can be built up to handle almost anything. The weakest will be the D36. The 80-82 can be built up to handle quite a bit but is limited to mods. What are you trying to build and what year?
