What specifically are you looking for John?  Posi?  Ratio?  I have an open 3.08 from the Arkansas car, but suspect that's not what you're looking for....my guess would be a 3.36 Posi.

If Chucks housing is clean I would have the tubes welded up and I would purchase a brand new posi unit and gears! That's what I did with one of mine! All new parts inside!, nobody pulls your rear cover and looks after all! Parts for these are getting harder to obtain after all! Jim at JDRace is excellent and very knowledgeable check out his website if you get a chance!

I guess i should be a little more specific , a complete 3.36 with the large bearings would be preferred but i know know they are getting hard to come by .I,m not ruling out a nice housing with an open unit as long as it has the large bearing axles .
Its not a big rush either just looking for a possible future build .

John, the red one s a 65 Gran Sport. The green one you got parts from is the 66 Gran Sport 3 speed car.
