10 bolt will fit easily. Hump was designed to clear the 12 bolt. Is it an original HK-HT 12 bolt or a Camaro one? 12 bolt is a lot bigger diff.

Ive got a 12 bolt in a Transam,and mate they are really big(as Byron said),I think for what its worth just use the 10 bolt and keep the 12er for a bigger project,unless your putting in a "REALLY HEALTHY" motor...just an opinion.

Byron, was there many HK/HTs fitted with 12 bolts(i guess only 81837 manual) Cant remember ever seeing one but everyone tells me you forget things when you age.

HK 1837 or HT 1837M were optional. How many made - bugger all? I remember reading that the Beechey HT was ordered with one. Mono, if you ever want to sell it let me know. I will be putting a 450hp 427 into my HK GTS327 and a 10-bolt wont handle that. I do have an original XY GT 9" that I pulled out of my red GTS327, complete with GT brakes that I was possibly going to use if it has 31 spline axles. It is a 3.5:1 LSD. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |
