55-64 Chevy rear
 
Could someone give me the name of the fellow from Canada that makes upgrades for these rears. Thanks

Those Rearends are one of the more significant reasons that drove
me to switch to racing Mopars back in those days!

I have been told that there is a Mopar rear that is almost a bolt in for a tri five would you know what one it is A or B body? Thanks

I am thinking 66 to 71 B Body.

BUT: I would sneak in a 57 to 64 Pontiac as it much
less conspicuous. I raced two 57 Corvettes and once
busted the stock rear end climbing the ramps on my
ramp truck to go to Lions!

You are better off swapping in a 12 bolt and selling all that early rear end stuff to some collector/restorer. I wrote the book on how to bust one up with a 348 4 speed car I had in the mid 70's. Back then they were pretty cheap. I even blew one up in my 57 Nomad that I had with a stock 327 and a 4 speed. Good riddance to all that.

I used those old Pontiac rear ends for years and years. Even had one in our old '27 Ford Roadster that we ran in S/G in the 80's.
However, I think gear sets are hard to come by for those things now days.
