Please tell me they don't exist. Although one just won best in show this weekend

Okay, they don't exist. Built in Lansing, it could have been sold new in Canada however.

Clones can win BIS. All depends on how "best" is defined.

I was under the impression there were 442's built in Canada and that they used the Chevy 12 bold rear end.

I believe that is correct but like W said all W-30 were from Lansing.

wmachine

Right, but all W30s (W31 and W32s) were built in Lansing.

On an Oshawa built 442, depending on what gears you wanted you would get a 3:42 Olds axle (my M20) or a 3:91 Olds axle (wife's M21) or a 3:23 auto w/air -Chev axle (wife's first 442). So usually a regular Cutlass would have a Chev axle unless it was a performance axle-which would be Olds...I put a 2:56 Olds posi in Muskrats '68 four door, but I don't remember what it came out of... I have a '68 442 w/air and it has a Chev axle (ratio ??)

stan 65 cutlass

my 65 is oshawa built,never looked at the axle yet, but it hooks up like a posi and it feels like it should have a 5th gear on the muncie. i guess without taking the cover off ill never know

To find your ratio rotate the tire once and count the drive shaft revs and then rotate the tire ten times and count the drive shaft revs to be more accurate... if you have a posi, the two wheels will turn the same direction when you turn the drive shaft or one of the wheels with both wheels off the floor of course (two on the floor ). Or with one wheel on the floor there should be a fair amount of resistance to overcome the clutch drag of the posi or with no posi there will be almost no resistance...

thanx, ill be checkin. good tip on going ten times for more accuracy

Years ago, I had an Oshawa built 68 442 with a factory 3.07 Chevy rear. I think it was a posi but I'm not positive anymore... It was white with a blue vinyl top and red interior with red w36 stripes.
