\'85- Dana 44 Rear End?
« on: November 20, 2006, 12:44:56 PM »
Does anyone know of anyone in Oz who might have a Dana 44 from a manual trans 85-96 C4??

Would prefer 3.54 or 3.45, but will consider 3.07's.

Just trying to avoid the extra hassles of shipping one from the US.

I know Vette Connection in Victoria had a Dana 44 in stock about two months ago.  Their number is (03) 9776 4114.

I've had one on my "if I find one at a good (ie: bargain) price" purchase list for a while and can offer this observation - they seem to be getting pretty thin on the ground and prices are starting to reflect this.

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Thanks for the tip.  He does have one, but at $3800, I think I'll keep looking.

I will ring Joes tomorrow.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm hungry for a bit more power ;54

I do have another cam and convertor and a few other bits I want to put into the car, but I won't do it until I get a Dana 44 out back....

Does the car come with it for that price?

Am seriously considering your offer re swap.
