Corvette diffy?

[Zvoiture]

While looking for Suby LSD's at the junkyard, the owner mentioned, "Why don't you put a Corvette rear end in it? I've seen a couple Z's like that. It's quite a bit lighter."

I didn't ask for proof, just kindof 'filed' the info and moved on. I have never seen such a transplant. Perhaps this is a common mod on V8 Z's? Has anyone seen or done a Corvette diffy install?

I've seen this over on hybridz. Not a simple swap. Major fabrication required. On the plus side, I bet the diff gear ratio is better suited to the kind of power you get from a V8 swap than the Datsun diffs.

it's been done, but people didn't swap in just the diff, but the complete irs = from brake calipers to half shafts. major fabrication required, you may want search for scottie gnz's info on hybridz. he successfully installed this.

just like auxilary said. guess you posted as i was thinking.

well anyway scottie has a 10 sec Z so you tell me if its worth it
