$300 give or take...depends on the sellers market. Ive seen them selling for closer to 400 on national forums where the seller was willing to ship...and as low as $200 on regional boards where he would only sell if you picked it up.

Jules - For a 3.42 rear end for the CMC car, you don't need or want brakes on it, just need a built housing with LT1 brake backing plates - to swap, leave the brakes on the car: hang the calipers from the frame, unclip the axle hardline and remove the T bolt from the pumpkin. That and pull the rear LCA/TA bolts and driveshaft straps and the rear end can be swapped quickly, with no need to bleed brakes.

How timely...
I'll be dropping my CMC rear end out tonight in prep for T2R & complete rebuild. I was wondering if hardline & brakes could be left together w/o cracking a line while dropping the housing.

QUOTE (CMC #37 @ May 30 2006, 12:03 PM) Just wondering, thinking about buying it from my friend. I know a guy around here (Maryland) that is offering a 2000 rear for $500. It had 15K on it before he removed it. I thought that was a little pricey, but it turns out that I couldn't use the axles from it anyway. Karen |

Ya, I use some wire (TIG rod, actually) to bend up hangers to support the calipers so the brake flex lines don't get kinked. There are a couple of weld tabs on the axle tubes, and a bolt thru the T fitting into the pumpkin. Be gentle with the hardline. |

Geez! $300 for a rear diff? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I paid $100 for my last one with Motive 4.10s in it ... and he threw in a white Firebird hood. I traded the 4.10s to the gear swap dude for a set of used 3:42s and the install of my T2R. It is supply and demand I guess ... mod edit: threw vs through |
