the type O is just as strong as the corporate 8.5 and the axles are held in with 4 bolt flanges at the backing plate so NO C clips to fail. The only BAD thing about the type O is parts are a bitch to get as they were only used from 1968-1970 then they went to the corporate 8.5 rear end. I have everything for an 8.5 corporate posi including new 3:42 gears and the install kit posi unit and pinion depth tool but am having a hard time finding a decent 71-71 cutlass corporate housing so i am going to sell all the parts. I just wanted to build up a spare rear end as i have a type O with 3:23 posi and wanted to step up to the 3:42s.
