Its yr car, but since yr askin'.... But the bulletproof Dana back there and you won't have anything to worry about as far as breaking something (yr BE) that is potentially rare and expensive. Sell the BE and use the $ to finish your car and/or buy yr bride a well deserved graduation present or take the family on a nice vacation. Maybe the BE will find its way back to a real COPO car.

Good Luck Jeffrey!

I agree with Sam. If it is truly a BE rear, you should get a sizeable amount of $ to work with for the rest of your restoration. Seeing as your car isn't one that originally came with a BE (that you know of), I'd probably sell it and allocate the funds elsewhere.

With the demand for real BE's and what $ they can reach also being you're building a non-numbers car and have the modded Dana already on hand the above advice is very sound...spending ideas included!.

Yep there's lots of us here who remember your car..
Here's your original thread...keep 'er going!.

Well Sam I guess if I sold it I could afford to buy new bolts instead of soaking those old junkers in oil... Any one see a distributor cap around here
