In trying to source a 307 and powerglide/T350, I need a new diff. I spoke and visited a few wreckers today and they reported them as becoming very rare.

This guy is wrecking a HK premier with no box or motor but a 10 bolt v8 diff. The body is pretty much rust free and the interior is pretty schmick with the front doors having electric windows! Also got a few other bits such as v8 disc brake front etc. Also got old school centreline lookalike mags in good nick, not sure what they are called though. Interior like door cards and stuff are in very good cond as well as glass and seats. This guy bought this car purely for the 10 bolt.

The thing is he wants $2k for the diff or $2500 for the whole car...for the sake of originality and looking at cutting a 9 inch down etc, is this car worth to buy? I think I could sell unwanted parts for about 1k. This would typically be a donor car.

Thoughts?

Guards are worth good money if not rusty, particularly HK ones. HK rear doors are hard to get. HK Prem woodgrain the the same as GTS, so you should be able to sell all the dash stuff including the choke hole blank for good money, especially if its a floor

Thanks Beige,

Yeah that seems to be the price that they are fetching these days. I'm hoping I can resell the stuff I don't need bringing the effective price I paid for it down.

Would it be better/cheaper to grab a 9 inch and chop it? Or try and ge

Ok well if it helps or not i have no idea but i got a ten bolt hk/g/t diff from a wreckers in brisbane 4 months ago for $350 have seen heaps on ebay not even fetch $1000 dollars , so maybe im missing something ?? whats the diff (pardon the pun lol) betwee

I've seen plenty of HQ 10 bolts for a couple of hundred buck but never the early ones - I've often wondered at the price difference too - maybe the monaro nuts are responsible:)? I'm personally not a fan of the 9 inch. They seem big, heavy, noisy items th

Yeah Ive though of that but for me to get a Borg cut down etc it will most likely end up costing more than if I can get this 9 inch. Fingers crossed the guy gets back to me soon!

You wont need to cut down a VL V8/turbo Borg Warner. Its slightly narrower.

If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?

can hg axles be fitted to the vl diff? or do you need them to be redrilled?
cause i have a 6 cyl turbo diff from a vh-vl that i would like to try in the hg

One problem with your theory Luke.

They put 10 bolts behind C4 and C6 Corvettes putting out well over 300Kws, so unless you are up there with the Engineers at GM, I think your theory might fall a little short. Nothing wrong with 10 bolts, especially th

Not sure what you trying to say ozchevy..

I recommend putting a 10 bolt in the car if you want to save money. BUT NOT a original HK 10 bolt..

10 Bolt diffs do a good job... for a while.. But if you smash a original HK diff then that's a lot of mone
