Count me in on this too, as I'm going to need it. Having a similar rebuild job to Mike, just not quite as radical.

I'll lay down a smack on my stock original rearend when I know there's a reliable aftermarket upgrade to go to. Meanwhile, I'll baby my rear until then. Either way, I'm a future customer of yours.

Welcome Florian!

You can always do the Austrailian fix that doesn't exist yet for 9K w/o shipping

Well its as much vaporware as this one so far. $9K.. I dont think so. They are going to use the Bulk of the Dana in the GTO as a starting point. No matter who does it it aint going to be cheap. It will need a diff and axles too, no doubt about it.

This one isn't vaporware due to the fact that my V is at Madmans as we speak.

hey ya'll....welcome new members from the caddy site!!

Bumpidy bump!!

Parker, so wats up on the car man'g? I'm in like sin...rear is just whining to get replaced..

Im sure it will be expensive but not 9k. Well, if it isa 9k, you are getting a product from the states so less shipping, and a driveshaft built by a madman with parts that can withstand a nuclear blast...well, at least a go over 3k without having to be replaced!!
