i do not believe there are any spacers available out there for the corvette differentials.

unfortunately, in your case, i think your only choice is to go with an entirely new diff if you want to change the gear ratio.

You need a 3 series carrier to fit your 3.73 gears. If you have a manual trans with any kind of power, you can shear the bolts off. It can be done, but I never recommend this to my customers as in the long run the damage is not worth doing it right the first time. I've even seen the bolts sheer off from a firm shifting auto trans. What is your peace of mind worth? Good Luck.
