Well they didn't make too many of them. I know where you can get a fully restored GN for 20,000.

A 10 bolt are you nuts... GM 10 bolts break as fast as mustangs break trannies
If you do happen to service your rear end a lot, or have a really strong gear set, it'll last a lot longer then stock... but if your gunna throw any sticky tire on... invest in a 12 bolt

a 12 bolt is best yes but not exactly needed a 10 bolt with a good differential and ring and pinion will handle in excess of 800 whp without any real difficulty and i know yes a 12 bolt stock can handle 650+ i know...
10 bolt is easy to come by
and factory 10 bolt will a ls1 basic mods and whatever i know i've done it with a slick and 430 whp s10...4 spd muncie

Who said anything about stripping a restored GN? I said I know where there is a restored one. If you want an engine, find one in a junkyard. BTW, painted the van in the backyard.
