CJP: I hear what you are saying about a rear swap prior to 1981, but remember it was easier and cheaper back then to swap a rear than rebuild it. In the mid 70's we never rebuilt anything, we just swapped the rear, motor or tranny out for another. Also, as a case in point, my first 67 Z-28 sat in a salvage yard from the 1980 until I bought it in 1998 - I didn't realize it had a BE rear in it until I got it home!
