Bad news is that your blown up diff probably took out your trans as well.

I'm going back to stock and just pulled the trans and diff out today.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-p...iting-for.html

It's an 08 RKT Built TR6060 Z06 Trans and RKT Built Z06 diff w/ 500 DSS shafts

Only seen the track 3 times and mexico highway runs. less than 10k if that.

Cost more than 8k outright when new. PM me if interested.

Keep us in mind as well. We've done 100's of C4/C5/C6 diff builds with great success and as of yet (knocks on wood) we've had zero failures.

Give us a call if we can help!

Thanks for the offer.. I'm going to see what the motor looks like this week when I get it out of the car..I have a 8" hole on the side of the block, but haven't had it apart yet.. I KNOW I need a block & a set of rods & pistons.

I'm hoping the heads didn't get hurt...Will keep you guys in mind when I get it apart and see how bad it is....

Aldo am planning on a 4" stroker to make it a 403 ci..

Haven't seen a C6Z diff blown apart, do you have any pics or can explain what exactly happened?
