C2 Street/strip rear ends

[Tomcat65]

Hi guys,
curious if anyone have info where I can get hold of HD parts for a strong Street strip rear end for my C2,
I know in the 70s there were Pepe Estrada axles,and rebuilt center sections with 12b internals etc, anyone know who does mods like this today?
Thanks!

I have read articles about people in the 9s and low 10s on bottle rocket 427s with stock rear ends. Are you planning on 8s?

Hey tom welcome to the forum how bout some photos of your modified car

Hi ,sure I will get some photos up soon on my project ,
just dont have a webhost for it at this time,

my car is in a process of a total rebuild right now, will have the body off a totally rebuild and mod off the chassie for better handling etc,
the engine I have ready for it is a 355" with AFR 180-58cc heads,and AFR RPM Intake, Holley 750 vac, 268 comp cam, 10,25 TRW pistons, Tremec TKO 5speed and now planning for a strong rear end that can handle sticky slicks without having to worry about it,

my first thought was to install a ford 9" since I already have one axle ready in my garage but I decided to keep the vette style rearend ,,altough beef it up a bit.

It is a modified project car that I got my hands on some time ago and I intend to to keep it as a modified car (with some new improved body mods and chassie improvements ) somewhat inspired by the modded cars in 60s 70s, wide wheels, flares ,sidepipes that I really likes,
I really love the white Wintersteen GS #002 roadster and and I guess it will be somewhat inspired by that one and towards a early 70style streetmachine

no not really,but I like to do occational racing without having to worry a bout it ,

My friend who done a lot of Dragracing with a stockclass BBc3 a few years ago he had a lot of problems with broken axles etc ,so his advice was go for better axle parts if using the stock rearend, especially if I wanted to do some dragracing using slicks .
