Wanted to bring to this group's attention an effort a few of us have been trying to pull together. For the big cars such as the Rivs etc there has never been a source for aftermarket rear gears, we are trying to have 4.10's or 3.91's built. We have found a manufarturer who will build them as long as the order is above 20 sets and the price will be about 400. On July 14th near Lanc. Pa.we will be holding a measuring session to try to determine what years of the cars will interchange so that we know what to build. There is hope that we can build a set that may cover the 9 and 3/8th from 1964 to 1975. If any of you have any input on these rears or if you are interested in attending please contact me on or off list!! There has been a lot of discussion on the v8buick.com board under the big car catagory on this subject and a lot of background info is posted there. In addition to the session here at my place on the 14th there is a Nostalgia drag deal at the Old US 30 strip at York Pa. Sat the 13th and a get together at the York Fairgrounds on friday night. Some pretty big names fom the 60's will be there. Also on the 13th at Buck Pa. there is a new facility for an auction yard that is sponcering a car show. Antique, classic and rods as well as a swap meet all day. Sure would like to see a bunch of Buicks there. There is a dance (50;s 60's and 70's type music) there in the evening also! More info to be posted at www.porterfieldauctions.com So If you are looking to come to Lanc, Pa. Or York Pa. for a weekend stop by and show off your Buick!!!
These rears we are working on are the strongest factory Buick rear built and make a 12 bolt look wimpy so if we do get a ratio that works put together maybe some of the GS guys will benefit also!
