Thumbs up Midwest rear and 4:11s finally in the car

I forgot to take my camera with so no pics of it in the car.



Last week I had the old rear end out and went to put new the tranny cross member in and found I had one for an LS1 car. We had to put everything back under the car to drive it home.
Got the new cross member yesterday and went back to my buddy's to put it all in, it took us 3 1/2 hours start to finish. Everything just bolted right in, no BFH required. Got 20 miles on it getting it home and it's quiet as can be so far.

I gotta say I would recommend the Midwest rear end to anyone needing a rear end. I don't come across many aftermarket parts that just bolt in without any glitches.

Is that his powdercoating or did you paint it? My situation has changed, but I'm still trying to figure out how I can swing it

It's his powder coat, for the price he charges I didn't think it would be worth it to paint it myself, and the powder coat is a much tougher finish.

Looks good, glad it's worked out for ya so far.
I spent several weeks putting my new rear in the car (had other maintenance and such to do and I took my time).

I got 7 miles into my first 10 mile run on the new rear before a festering strumpet/Jerry Springer type reject ran a red light and took my nose and front end off the car…
Just the hood itself was listed over $2100…
