Finally Installed!!!

Well guys I did it!! I finally got the Porterbuilt Dropmember installed in my 69. I hope to have a tech article on www.gaugemagazine.com in a month or so.


I also picked up a C4 rearend from www.vette2vette.com! That will be my next project.

Re: Finally Installed!!!

blazntn, I was thinking of slapping a C4 rear in my 71. Any info or pointers you can share? I got the Corvette rear in my garage doing nothing.
