Re: 12 Bolt vs 10 Bolt Rear
If Dan runs K SA and if I have figured his combo correctly at 299 HP the total weight including driver is 4055 lbs. I sure hope that 8.5 is as durable as a 12 bolt.

Re: 12 Bolt vs 10 Bolt Rear
Been talking with Moser, Mark Williams and Strange
They do not make a C Clip Eliminator Kit and Axles for a 10 Bolt and with Disk Brakes.. They do not have a 12 bolt that bolts in Looks like everything has to be fabricated to make it work. Anyone have an idea how to get past this?? One other questions. Can you use a G-Body Rear on a B-Body? D Last edited by Dan Fahey; 04-25-2018 at 10:51 AM. |

Re: 12 Bolt vs 10 Bolt Rear
My experience is that weight is what kills a rearend.
I moved to a lighter class and the rearend problems stopped,I probably have 100 more hp today than I had when I was breaking gears but no sign of cracking nowadays. Most abused 12 bolt I've seen is from a 283 Impala (stick) Last edited by Race Clean; 04-25-2018 at 12:33 PM. |

Re: 12 Bolt vs 10 Bolt Rear
You could always change the axle ends. It wouldn't hurt to weld the axle tubes to the center too.

Yeah.. Got a special case here. Moser, Strange and MW do not specialize on B-Bodys. Right now a new with good parts will cost $5000, Damn ! One asked if a G-Body 8.5 rear would fit. Dan |

Re: 12 Bolt vs 10 Bolt Rear
look at the Police 91C rears they generally came with disc brakes---or as somebody said cut the ends off and put 12 bolt ends on it--google what you are trying to do others have put G body rears into a B body just have to rework the arms and move the brake hose/shock holes etc. to match what you have
