Has anyone ever done a solid axle swap on a c5 or c6?

C6 have a rear transaxle, so you'd need a transmision, drive shaft, and a solid axle swap.... IIRC C5's are like that too

Thats why so much fluid came out

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

yup, i know that, but doesnt mean it couldnt be done. just some cutting and welding.

Yeah, but thats a whole drivetrain swap... would be nice for a drag car, but would throw off that weight balance that helps so much in the corners.....a C6 with a solid axle would be pretty sick

At the time that Vette just had full exhaust and a Speed Inc. 007 Cam... now it has ECS Supercharger, Blower Cam, Twin Disc Clutch, Full Exhaust, Built Trans/Rear with 3.73's and has recently run a 10.97!

That Sucks, I see c6 guys do some killer 60's though with those getrag rears though. wonder why his was so weak.

my IRS is holding up ok, but it has been strengthened.

Wow

79vette, do you have a hole cut in the floorboard to see what's in front of you? Every time I see the car it's nose high.

The Rears in the C6's weren't known to be very strong with a sticky tire and a well prepped track. The key to running these late model Vettes is to slip the clutch, he tried to dump his clutch that day and BOOM!

I remember seeing this a while back, not fun at all.

a leaking rear is never good.

He actually cracked the housing almost all the way around and damaged the transmission at the same time!
