ECS (East Coast Supercharging) can do it also - I've got one of their rear ends w/ 3.73 gears - I've never met him, but I've called Chris at ECS many times for info, and he has always dropped what he's doing and answered my questions. Can't go wrong there!

BE SURE you have the hardened output shaft installed on the drivers side when you do it - that shaft is the weak link in the rear end and it should be done if you tear things apart

DTE can do it also, and from what I've heard, they also put together some kick AZZ rear ends - I've got their strut brace and it is high quality

Choice is yours, good luck.

Chuck at Corvettes of Westchester (NY) has done a good number of rear end replacements (wait, that came out wrong...) and he's a contributing member here. I think he prefers to use his own parts forthe gearsets though.

Yes, Corvettes of Westchester re-builds tons of getrag Rear diffs.

Yes, you can mail us your own parts....but, it dosen't save you a whole lot of money.

We can do the entire job from heat treated gears, polished ring and pinions, upgraded posi, hardened driver and passenger axles, and installs.

Please call any time with questions.
