Hey there, I read in the article that you used a Dana 36. Have you considered the modified cover that I was asking about here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ar-to-d44.html

for as much time and effort as you have into that car, this cover would sure help keep that Dana 36 from exploding. I also have the 3.07's like you have and this cover is on the list of planned mods for my car.

If I did the work, selling would be my top priority.

I had the car for a long time and it was time to move on. Believe it or not I have sold cars that I did more work to. I wish I could keep them all.

I don't have any plans at the moment I'm getting older and so are my kids. I bought a C5Z it's getting cam, ported heads,ported intake, full exhaust work and should be close to 450 RWHP. Im going to enjoy driving it for a while. The C4 was always under the knife and all tho I enjoyed building it there was not much time for driving and having fun in it. My kids keep me moving and I have a job where I travel a lot now. What ever the next build is I'm sure it will be some kind of LS swap. I am leaning toward a 944 or Miata right now.
