My engine is pushing the limits of a stock rear end. Does anyone have a Moser or Strange or other brand 4th gen rear end for sale?
10 Apr 2017
I have March accessories on the front of my engine but the crank pulley is trying to occupy the same space as the steering rack and I need to make a new lower bracket for the alternator to make it clear the C4 cross member. Rather than trying to fix all that I figured I'd see if anyone here has the front serpentine accessories from a thirdgen or C4 corvette. If not I'll have to rig up an elaborate idler pulley setup to drive the alternator and clear the electric water pump.

I sold my third gens but I seem to keep coming back for parts. haha


Here's some pictures of the project so you can see what I'm working with.

87 IROC $3500obo

Clean title
305 TPI w/ 700r4
Really clean interior (passenger door panel is the only flaw)
30'er exterior
45k miles IIRC
No rust

I've had the car for the last 9 years. I built it to autocross and didn't skimp on suspension. About 4 or 5 years ago the car started stalling and was jerky/hesitant to accelerate. I didn't know why and was getting bored autocrossing so I decided to get into motorcycles and park the car for a while. A while turned into 4-5 years on jack stands in a storage unit. I recently got it out to start working on it again and found the injectors are pulsing but pressure at the fuel rail is weak so my guess is a bad fuel pump. I don't want to deal with pulling the tank and I have other projects still taking up my time so I figure I should let this one go. It will start and is sort of drivable. I did drive it around the block a few times but unless you live a mile or two away I'd suggest coming with a car trailer. Car handles great!

Good:
Koni yellow shocks/struts
Eibach Pro-kit springs
Rod/poly lower control arms
Lower control arm relocation brackets
Rod/rod Al panhard bar
Panhard bar relocation
4th gen rear end w/ 3.42 and torsen and aftermarket Al diff cover
Z06 wheels (stock IROC wheels included if you want them)
C5 corvette front calipers/rotors
C5 master cylinder
Wilwood brake bias adjuster
Strut tower brace
J&M strut mounts
36mm front swaybar
Adjustable rear swaybar
Weld in subframe connectors
SLP shorty headers and Y-pipe
3" magnaflow catback iirc
Everything is poly or rod end except motor mounts and A-arm bushings


Bad:
Dent in the hood and drivers front fender (separate incidents)
Clear coat on roof and hood dull (from a tarp during winter storage before I had a storage unit)
Headlight cracked
Old battery
Possibly needs fuel pump
Old gas in the tank
AC removed (parts included if you want them)
Stock electric fans need to be rewired

Am I even close on the price? I've been out of the F body game for a while.

I can get more detailed pictures or specifics on things if there's interest.

I saw the thread about Unbalanced Engineering discontinuing the decoupled torque arm and I missed their final sale too. I guess that's what I get for leaving the F-body life for so long. I figure it's a long shot but I may as well ask if anyone has one for sale before I attempt to make my own.

I'm looking for a deeper transmission pan for my 700r4 and I would prefer it to have a bung for a temp sensor. Aluminum is preferred but steel will be fine since I'm running low on cash with many other parts to buy before the car is complete.

I'm also looking for a trans temp gauge and the sensor. Autometer Phantom is preferred but I guess I shouldn't get picky.



If anyone has a stock 700r4 trans pan they wouldn't mind giving up for cheap I plan to use it to extend my current pan and weld a bung on.
