Default Dana 44 is in !!

Well it happend today !!! now my 88 vette is holding a dana 44 with 3:54 gears ! replacing the dana 36 with 2.59 that I used to have !!! Now I thank all of you who posted on the topic about the support beam ! all we did was we measured the difference between the 2 danas and we moved the holes and that`s it!! every thing perfect :cool: Now the vette is alive I can smoke the tires longer, and that I like :D + now It feels much stronger pulling trough the gears ! Can`t wait to take it to the track ! :chevy to see some good E/T`s :)

Congrats :cheers:.

No mention made about the driveshaft length. Do you have a manual transmission? I must've missed previous posts.

Did you do the install yourself? If so how difficult is it? If not and you don't mind my asking how much for the parts + install?
