I guess I'll throw in my experience about aftermarket rears... About two years ago I ordered a complete Currie 9" and like Ron mentioned below, I too got carried away while ordering. The entire rear including shipping ended up costing $3600. Even though it cost a lot, I can't complain because it has been one of the few bolt it in and forget items I've bought. It quietly does its thing with no fuss. I wish I could say that for every part on my El but we all know how that goes!

I'm planning to install my Moser this weekend. Nothing cheap about it - plus I got carried away as I was ordering... Don't forget about the shipping either. Moser sends them with the shipping COD. Had to warn the wife about that $225 bill before it was a surprise :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mike f Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 6:50 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] suggestions on a 12 bolt I guess maybe the best question to start in these situations is to ask, How much money can you afford? I did the Mosser 12 bolt thing. Got the differential and spline count I wanted with late model Chevrolet flanges. I think the old style brake kits, if this is a consideration at the moment, are cheaper than a junkyard or new 93-up rear disc setup. But really, it's all about your fundage, as it were. mike f. --- Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tom, > > Are you sure it's not a 3.07 gear?
