Hey guys I am building up a 71 Chevelle...right now it has the stock GM 10 bolt rear. The engine is getting upgraded and will put out around 450 hp and 470 Tq. Knowing that I also know it will toast my 10 bolt that isent even a posi. I know I need a posi rearend but I would like a 12 bolt. That way I don't put a posi in now and do the engine and have to do the whole 12 bolt later. Because it also has coilovers and ladder bars that weld on. Does anyone know where I could get a 12 bolt that would fit the Chevelle or what other cars rear ends could come from. I am guessing that the whole rear end has to be changed (axels) when going to 12 bolt so in that case I need everything. I was just wondering if there is any place that I can get a whole rear and maybe what you guys think would be good to put in it. For gears and such it's a daily driver but is being built to the street machine title. Thanks!
