Do a search of this forum section using several combinations of the item you want. There was a thread or two on how to make this item several years ago.

That is the exact route I took with my 2005 ('06+ case with 4:10) from RPM. But have been led to believe the C5 ZO6 case is even stronger. The '05 case is weak.

That would be a good question for the guys at RPM. I know they use the Z06 stub shafts in the stage 2 rear I got from them with 410's also. I'm sure they can build a rear for any HP level.
