jag rear question

[race-rodz]

does anybody know off hand if the carrier in a jag44 will interchange with a corvette or viper44? im looking for a posi/lsd for the jag... but i would like something a lil more available than the jag parts. i dont know off hand what the spline count is on the jag, vette, or viper.. so that would be helpful also.

thanks

Try sending a PM to a member here named "Protour_Pinto". He installed a jag rear in his car and may be able to help answer those questions. Here's a post from him:

I dont know if any of them are interchangeable. Most Jags are limited slips to begin with.

There are a few places that carry jag stuff. There is CWI in Washington state, http://www.geocities.com/~concourswest/page9.html

And my favorite since he is a few blocks from my house is Hamilton Auto Ind. 818-787-9594. He has forgotten more about our rears than most people know.

yeah... i wasnt lucky enough to end up with one of the 3:50 geared limited slip units.... mine is a 2:88 one-legger. i will give them a call.... but it sure would be nice if it would interchange with viper parts... as i have 2 viper diffs for my cobra project.

i see a few jag rears in PT cars.... but it seams to be more of an older street rod thing... and not too many people are using them anymore. vette and viper systems are easier to package and more common it seams.

thanks for the info

I have a 3.54 lsd jag in my Cobra. I have a stroked 427 Side Oiler with over 500HP. I have had no problem with it. I broke the Lower arms, but Hamilton fixed them and put a sleeve and braces at the ends.
I also have a 3.70 steel Corvette diff in the Roarvette. Since you have inboard discs. on the Jag, anything you do to the center section has to deal with that. I would try CWI and see if they can help you. A 3.54 or 3.31 would be nice. It should work fine, and be a lot less work. The Jag. stuff isn't super expensive and is reasonably plentiful.
The other alternative is to just chop off the frame you have, and just put the entire Corvette setup back there. Depends if you can find the parts cheap enough.
I know you have probably already thought of this, but the Jag is strong enough and probably a whole lot less work at this point.

There are always a couple of jags in the Pick a Parts around here, If you dont find what your looking for just drop me a line and I can go and get one for you.
