When I was in primary school my stepfather had a 3800 with a 302 V8 in it, it had rostyle rims, slightly higher air scoop on bonnet and restyle rims, was pearl white with metallic green stripes, and bonnet scoop. Was a machine! I burnet my calf every bloody time on the pipe getting out the back door!

I've got a complete diff from my opel record. It came with the 2,5 Chev engine. I'm not sure if the housing is the same though.

Gunther,
Phone Jacques Hough on 072 337 9933. There is a 2500 lying in his yard on its roof with the diff and rear suspension stripped out. But hurry...its on its way to the scrap stealers :roll: :roll: 8O 8O :x
