It's been done with a Corvette rear end, but it's a lot of work. What's your goal that you want it?

THAT'S what you meant! Oh yeah, I get it now. :dunce: I don't know why, but I thought you meant making the axle non-driven, so your van would be front wheel drive only. No idea why I thought that.

Geez, what was I thinking?!?!?

Sorry about that.... :toimonster:
