Default Rear dimensional specs

Looking for specs drawings for the rear diff. Like specs for the frame. Friend wants to put a vette rear in his hotrod. Dave

Dave,

Ask your friend to look at the IRS in many of the mid 90's Cougars and T-Birds. It's a much more self contained unit and adapts well to a hot rod chassis. It's about as strong as the Corvette IRS and again is more self contained.

It is very similar to the package that Heidt sells. They're also all over the place and are very inexpensive. I have a friend that has a 95 Cougar with the IRS in it and he can hardly give it away.

Good luck... GUSTO
