if your going to do it don't bother with another pos go with an aftermarket or at least a ford.

a 12 bolt is aftermarket. they come stock with 10 bolts. Moser 12 bolt is what i'd go with.....if I had the money...

archemedes

when someone says 12 bolt they normally mean the gm 12 bolt, if you mean moser you say moser they are not the same (the gm ones use c clips to hold the axles, and the guy who came up with them should have been shot)

1BADVETTE

most people, when saying 12 bolt, refer to an aftermarket built rearend. same with 9". And I went ahead and got some Precision Gear thick 3.73's on the way, so car should HOPEFULLY be done end of this weekend/beginning of next week.

No one say's 12 bolt and is refering to a GM rear end. They always mean an aftermarket one like Strange or Moser.

archemedes

not anyone I have ever talked to,when magazines refer to a 12bolt the mena the gm 12bolt same with the ford 9in.I guess it's just something the bolt on crowd started.

1BADVETTE

or the 4th gen ls1 crowd.

archemedes

like I said the bolt on crowd (how many 4th gen guys have made something work instead of buying from a catalog?)

1BADVETTE

Welp, considering the way to make it work is with a gear spacer, and if you put a gear spacer in there, they're notorious for braking and causing problems in the rear-ends of 4th gens, that's why they don't make it work. Just accept the fact that your an idiot when it comes to the ls1 and stick to your 1st and 2nd gen ****.

archemedes

don't ever call me an idiot.If you had some imagination and didn't rely on someone else to make stuff work you wouldn't have a problem.you want everything easy, well it's not always easy.I have made parts to work that were not intended to, because what was available was designed by someone who had never seen a wrench.The rearend in a 4th gen is a glorified pile of **** (even gm's good rear was junk compared to ford or chrysler)if you want to do the job right buy the right stuff not do it half ***

1BADVETTE

I'm buying the right stuff. Do you not see me NOT putting a gear spacer in there and paying the estra money for the right THICKER gears that are SUPPOSED to be in there? jesus ******* christ you moron.

archemedes

I asked you not to do that. your the one saying the parts are wrong. I said to get a good rearend and do the job right once, you still have a rear that is unsafe (c clips don't pass tech at a sactioned nhra track for cars running under 13 seconds)I think you need to get the chip off your shoulder and maybe grow up a bit
