Differential Strength
I had a 63 Z06 (yes I wish I still had it Hindsight is 20/20) with the differential that had the independent rear drive driven from U-Joints.
Now they are the CV joints that plug into the rear end.
I was running 513 horse back then and never tore up the U-joints no matter how much I loaded it.
The pumpkin was easy to remove and replace and maintenance was a breeze. I could swap my street 3.90's with my track 4'56's in about 45 minutes when I went to the dragway on Sat nights.
Why'd they do away with the U-joints?
