I know engines but know nothing about rears, and everyone Ive spoken with has told me it can get messy if you dont know what youre doing. The car currently has a 10-bolt open rear in it (Im guessing 3.08 as it was originally a 283 car). The car has a 327/300HP and a 2-spd powerglide now. I also want to get a rear the same size (width) as the existing 10-bolt, as I dont want to push my wheels and tires out any further.

Re: [Chevelle-list] rear for my 66
Bob,if you think you're going to end up with over $1K in that 10 bolt rear,I would reconsider the idea of rebuilding it. For that kind of money,you can find a 66-67 12 bolt and build it to suit your needs.

I know engines but know nothing about rears, and everyone Ive spoken with has told me it can get messy if you dont know what youre doing. The car currently has a 10-bolt open rear in it (Im guessing 3.08 as it was originally a 283 car). The car has a 327/300HP and a 2-spd powerglide now. I also want to get a rear the same size (width) as the existing 10-bolt, as I dont want to push my wheels and tires out any further. Im hoping for something around 3.73 gears and a posi in the replacement. Any input or links would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Jim 66 Malibu http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jbiii/my66.htm Yahoo!

Re: [Chevelle-list] rear for my 66
If you're planning to leave the 327 alone,I wouldn't change rears as the stock 10 bolt can easily handle that power level. Just buy a new gearset and posi unit. You should be able to buy a new ring pinion for around $150 and a new limited slip unit for less than $400. To install both should run around $300 or so.

Since my transmission shop doesn't do rear end set-up work,I'm not sure what to tell you. However,the OKC metro area should have a ton of shops that can do the work.

The car currently has a 10-bolt open rear in it (Im guessing 3.08 as it was originally a 283 car). The car has a 327/300HP and a 2-spd powerglide now. I also want to get a rear the same size (width) as the existing 10-bolt, as I dont want to push my wheels and tires out any further. Im hoping for something around 3.73 gears and a posi in the replacement. Any input or links would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Jim 66 Malibu http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jbiii/my66.htm Yahoo!

Re: [Chevelle-list] rear for my 66
Still sore and tender,Bob. As for finding a 64-65 10 bolt axle,that might be a little more difficult than finding one for a 66-67 or 68-72. Have you looked on Team Chevelle's classifieds? Can you still get onefrom your local parts store?
