When were Corvette's first allowed to replace the "swing arm" rear suspensions with a solid rear end in Stock ?? And who was the first to do so ??
I know some run them with heavyduty original type pieces, but it's still a bit scary on the high HP cars.

One of the first ones done was done by Mark Oswald for a Div 4 racer. Sammy Pilazio? Boy, I know I butchered that name.

Became legal for stock about 10 yrs. ago.
