Well.......just guessing.......according to my aching back.....
I'd say the differential unit (chunk/pumpkin/whatever you want to call it) weighs.................................h mmmmmmm.......100 pounds
Now the two half-shafts..........add 20 more pounds for both
the two trailing arm assemblies........75 pounds each
the spring-pack....................40 pounds
the crossmember..................20 pounds
the strut rod assembly...........15 pounds
As you can see......this is NOT your mama's car (rear end!)
So.........is that what you meant by a Vette "rear end"?
