C3 Vette Solid Axle for Stock ???
Wondering what is the legal way to put a solid axle 10-12 bolt under a C3 Vette? Looking at a 74 for my dad to build for stock, as he has 454/270@360 engine he was going to put in a stock gt chassis but I have talked him out of it. Not looking to send the car somewhere, we can do the work ourselves. If anyone has insight or pictures it would be great, thanks.

Here is mine and my brothers/Nephews Vettes. The blue Vette is running a stock IRS with a power glide. It has a new Eton posi with a richmond ring and pinion and steel cap on left side. He runs International Axles hardened axles and outer spindles. Solid U joints. Stiff spring and shocks are a must. 11.50's is no problem at all with a IRS. Call Tom at International axle and tell him Vinny from Long Island New York recommended his products. 763-428-5020
We also run his stuff in our 63 and 67 Vettes both stick cars. Red Vette is running a solid axle, 4 link with stock chassis. Last edited by L79racer; 02-17-2013 at 06:19 PM. |
