Thank you sir. I was hoping that it would be a 3.7. I don't know what gear ratio is in the C30 now but it sure runs out of gear fast.

Still collecting parts:

Got my front springs, drop spindles. My C-notch & Flip kit should be here tomorrow.

Got most of my front end parts sitting on the desk, tie rod ends, ball joints, pitman arm etc.

Ordered some new front disks from Rock Auto

Still waiting on my 22" Alcoas and 8x10 adapters.

And I picked up this...

Its a 14b SRW 67" wide rear end with (3.42 gearing so I can road race?)

The ring and pinion gears are in fantastic shape.

I also picked up a front bench seat to replace my broken seat bottom. Thanks to the help and information from forum members TKCR and SCOTI!

Spindles showed up in a pretty trashed box.

Pulled them out and one of them has a pretty good ding in it, I think that is where the grease seal is supposed to sit...

Inner bearing backs up against that. Seal goes next step up.

The SRW is going to get new brakes and lines, remove the current brackets, a little cleaning and paint before the install.
