red/white04 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ok, I've been trolling around these forums for quite a while trying to gather the information I am looking for. I currently do not have a first gen monte however I do have very firm deal on a 72 right now. This is a 350/350 car. My question is does this car have a 8.5 10 bolt or an 8.2? I can't use his lift at his shop for a while because of other projects. If I could get under the car right now I would be able to distinguish between the two and I'm curious if and when the 8.2 was phased out.

CKZ03 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 From what I have observed is it seems all 350 2 barrel cars came with the 10 bolt rear. I'm assuming all 350 4 barrel cars came with the 12 bolt rear as mine did, 72 "J" code Custom. Basing this on only what I have seen though, and I have seen WAY more 350 2 barrel cars than 350 4 barrel cars. Curious myself if this is truly the case.
