5th Gen Camaro 'Hammerhead' Differential Mounting Kits
Type I Drivetrain Configuration (First Design)
This kit allows the installation of a 2010 – 2015 5th Generation Camaro 'Hammerhead' aluminum differential, directly onto the C5 Corvette rear cradle – completely replacing the factory Corvette transaxle.
​
The C5 and C6 Corvettes are all built with the transmission bolted directly to the differential for better weight distribution. So if a builder wants to go the conventional route, (front engine and transmission - driveshaft - rear differential) this is the best and most cost effective way to accomplish the task.
The 5th-Generation Camaro aluminum 'Hammerhead' differential is readily available online and in salvage yards for anywhere from $500.00 to over $2,000.00 - depending on the condition of the unit, the gear ratio and the mileage. Ratios include 3.27, 3.45 and 3.73.
Other GM and aftermarket ratios are available such as a 3.91, 4.11 and 4.33.
These installation kits will also work with some 9" Ford/Camaro differential conversions as well as the Strange Engineering and Lingenfelter 5th Generation Camaro differentials - however, a bit more clearance-grinding might be necessary.
The entire kit, with shipping included, within the US-48 States is $675.00.
