Dana 44 IRS
Hey guys,
I just bought a corvette dana 44 rearend.
I am pretty sure on how to do almost everything to put it in but I have a few questions.
The rearend has a 4 link system linking the rear spindle to the body/frame. Anyone know how to bolt it in so the tires are alligned?
thanks:hail: :hail: :hail:

correction
I know I am not the first to put a corvette rear end in but to my knowledge I am the first to do a dana 44. Most people, well I have only seen 2 others, have done a dana 36. There are more 36s out there but they are weaker.

if it was a drag car, there's a real good chance...almost undoubtedly, that it was NOT an IRS, they require too much work to meet nhra specs and i don't even think they can be ran at all past 10.90 (10.99?). I think past that requires a conventional axle...
