Not sure if this is the right place to post( move if needed) But anyway so I found a place that makes a trans adaptor to mate up a chevy RWD tranny to the ecotec, I am starting to gather parts for my next build and I want to build a mid engine ecotec with a auto trans, ether the stock auto trans from the ecotec or a powerglide not sure yet, what I don't know is what 3rd member to use I know there is a lot of cars out there that use a indy style rearend just not sure what one will work the best as far as getting CV's to work and so on. Thanks for any help

Check into a 2004- 2006 Pontiac GTO rear end. They sell a aftermarket 930 kit for them.
I know a guy that runs 930's on his 600hp GTO

I just remembered that the 2004 was a little different so look for a 2005-06. My friends is a 06

SCORE, Just picked one up, and a at a small local junkyard, It came out of a 06 stick shift car it only has 30,000 miles on it, But damn they are some big bucks, Now iam one step closer to putting the puzzle together. Once I get more and more parts I will have to start a build thread, Thanks for all the help
