C6 rear diff swap using stock T56
Hello, I'm swapping my stock diff to a 08+ Z06 Diff. I have a few questions.
1. What T56 extension do I need to mate my stock T56 to a C6 Z diff?
2. What diff mounts is everyone using? I've heard the stock C6 Z one's work and I have been told they don't.
I have search numerous sites and haven't really found the information I need.
Curretly I have a 09 C6 Z diff, cradle, suspension, and lower control arms. Thanks

for the answer to your first question I would ask rpm or Rick at rkt56... I used rkt56 conversion mounts on my 6060 swap... the oem mounts will not work because the mounting points are offset when you install the drivetrain into a c5, I think this is because the torque tube is shorter in the c5 but I'm not 100% sure... if that is the case I wonder if a c6 torque tube would work and then you could use the oem mounts
