Posted July 22, 200321 yr comment_44838 Today I found myself pulling the rearend. I did things the hard way:sleepy: I needed to be able to move her so I pulled the rearend alone so the wheels could stay on. All said and done it wasnt so bad. :classic: Anyway, The rearend case has a cast number on it of 8311E4600 Dose it mean anything ? The case is steel but the rear cover is aluminum. Was the rear cover aluminum stock? Just wondering what I have here. The P.O. of this car did some parts swaping so I am unsure. 1973 240Z with build date in mid 1972.

July 23, 200321 yr comment_44958 The part number I found on the microfiche is 38311-E4600... and it is for the rear end housing only........All the diffs have an aluminum rear cover... so that answers those questions.....I think if you pull the rear cover you should find some numbers on the ring gear.. if you find a 37 it is definately a 3.36 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7140-rearend-s/#findComment-44958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
