I noticed that I don't usually see anyone with LT1 Fbodies complaining about their 10bolts as much as us LS1 guys? Is there some sort of difference in their rear-ends?

No difference at all (as far as durability). Maybe it's the power difference.

If you ever go on CamaroZ28.com, it's more populated by LT1 guys ..... they've got LOTS of problems with their 10-bolts too.

I think it's mostly demographic related. There are more LS1 guys over here complaining about busted rears.

But on the other hand, it seems everyone's cam-only LS1 is right at 400rwhp, and only few LT1s ever break the 400hp mark. So, there is probably some bias to the LS1 in terms of rearend breaking potential.
