bbc is a Mark 4 2 pc rear main seal. I made the collars for the bearings, and the sleves in the carrier bearings inside. I wouldn't even think about welding one with out the collars and bushings inside.Last edited by cffisher; 10-12-2010 at 08:31 PM.

i thought the rear was a floater too, a nova with a floater and nascar vibe hmmm, wide five rims hubs and all, just a thought i really like the hatch back i dont remember seeing that many, there was a isca show car here in st louis in the 80s that had a an assload of real gold plating on everything, plus a gold metal flake paint job totally over the top car, a freind had a nova with that body style that was a four door with the police package that his dad bought at an auction, what a sleeper, cram six people in the four door and go do burnouts hahaha.

Hey Carl, how about a 31 spline floater with the gun drilled axles and stuff---tuff enough for the drag strip? Sure as heck would make gear changes a whole lot easier!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
