Differential upgrade
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2022 5:14 pm
When I bought my kit from Hunter (I just talked to him and he is making cars again) he asked me if I was going to run a Big Block. I told him no so he picked up a small block automatic donor car.
I have to admit I knew a lot about corvette body and basic mechanical stuff. But I had never heard any thing about the Dana 36 vs Dana 44 durability. And as I wasn’t planning to do track days it didn’t matter at the time.
It took a while but my gradual HP evolution finally broke the Dana 36.
I will have to make some modifications to the differential carrier but not too much fab work. I’ll post the process here.
PS my Covid experience is on the downhill side so should be in the shop in a few days.
