Hello,i have a posi rear that is stamped SH, can you i.d. that for me. I know it's a 342 but I was told it's a Hurst olds rear end.

I'm not an expert with rear ends. But I don't think they built a Hurst Olds in 1970. I believe the SH code rear end could have come in the 442 and W31 and possibly as an option in the Cutlass. One of the guru's who knows or has references will clarify this. Just to be sure, would you post the casting number off the rear end to help make sure its a 1970?

On the pumpkin I found 4022221 if that helps

Like you stated, SH is 3:42 ratio and was available 1970 cutlass/442 models. As 2blu442 stated, no Hurst in 70.

4022227 maybe??
Could have been a pace car cutlass??

There is no such thing as a specific Hurst Olds rear end, but there are certain rear ends that were used in a Hurst Olds. The point being that you can't authenticate that a particular rear was from a H/O as the same rear could have been in a 442, but you can discount some rears due to the available application.

More to the point, there is no such thing as a 1970 Hurst/Olds.

Thank you guys for all the replys.I couldn't find it in any web sites I checked.I have it listed for sale locally and wanted to be sure what it was.

I new there's no 70 h.o. but the only site I found that even listed that code was for h.o. cars .Thank you .

I have heard that H/O hurst olds (miss) story before.. I have a 1970 SH axle under one of my 1972 cars and did try and find info on that
They are not as sought after as TM code axles are .... BUT
That should be a fairly valuable axle if in nice condition
All the best
