I picked up the complete housing from a guy and he said it was from a 2000 Camaro. I got it for the posi and when I looked at it today I saw that the axels tubes are welded all the way around the housing with some other welding done to the housing. Is this the way all the rear ends are or is this something some one did??????

 

yep thats how they are.

 

That perimeter welding is something someone did. From the factory, the tubes are only plug welded into the housing, one in front, one in back. Here's a good article on beefing up the rearend, also shows the axle attachment points: Strengthening The Rearend From An LS1 Firebird Formula - High Performance Pontiac Magazine

 

So is any one interested in the rear end. Everything except the posi. New break roters everything shipped to your door.

 

looks like the way to go unless your pushing more then 400hp I am going to down load the parts list for next year thanks Camaro 69 $500 to $600 to get 400hp rear end ,I thought getting ford rear for my apl,ication is not needed yet until I move to 406 with 650hp one day mabey .great idea ,I am going to get strut tower brace to looks great ,an body braceing as well ,can get some tube steel an weld it in paint it red ,next years plans
