Ok here's thought
You can put a 12bolt diff in a C3 Corvette center section. Tom's differential has all the parts can can build 7 seccond NHRA legal setup.  A Bulletproof '63-'79 Corvette IRS Setup That's NHRA-Legal To 7.50S http://hotrod.automotive.com/79266/05 ... ette-irs-setup/index.html I was at a Corvette shop last night and measured up a C3 diff, which was very similar with wise. I know people make adapters to go from a D36 to a D44. I'm wondering if I can make one to go from a D44 (or a D36) to a C3 thought? |

with any amount of welding, sure, anything will fit anything... but I feel the D44 is better than the 12 bolt.
I prefer the Ford 9" if you want to go drag racing. But for road racing, I would just get the D44 built right and be done with it. |

I don't see why not; but would you not use only the modified 12 bolt C3 center with the C4 spindles and dogbones? |

Other than the weak clutch packs, laughable aluminum housing, smaller ring gear size, and axle design that breaks under wheel hop the dana44 is great. -- Joe |
