f-body 10 bolt question Anybody here use an aftermarket posi unit with a 10 bolt rear end instead of a 12 bolt? I have a buddy considering his options but doesn't want to spend $2500 on a 12 bolt. Any help would be appreciated.

do these few things and yes you can make a 10bolt last!!!
weld the axle housing to the pumkin (you can see the seem that needs to be welded)
weld support braces(tubes) from the axle housing to the pumkin(like a gusset)
install and aftermarket girdle.
These three things are a budget way to promote longevity with a 10bolt. All three prevent deflection and twist in the housing during driving and launches. Which is the killer of 10 bolt posi carriers!

yes it would and yes I can email you the pics. shoot me a pm!!!
the draw back to buying the new posi, is yes you can budget wise make a 10bolt stronger however it will still possibly break because the parts are all too small.
It really depends on how much power the car makes and how it is driven!
