Driveline question
I have a question about the driveline on C4 Vettes and my 87 coupe in particular. I'm wondering just how fragile the rear ends and transmissions are. Mine is a stock (for now) L98 350, with a 4+3 DN tranny and a D44 rearend. I'd like to do some occasional drag racing with it if it will stand up to it. What say you all??

I have dozens of passes on my '86L about half on the 4+3 and the rest on the T56. All of them on the D44. I agree with the above, the 4 speed
section of the 4+3 is pretty darn tough. You won't be using the OD at the drag strip so you should be good. Go have some fun.
