Looks like the gears and differential are not in it.

C BE, so expect it's a 341 casting.

[Jonesy]

good catch. I didn't see the C

Nice piece.

Maybe the "B" changed later in the year - not like any early BE rears that I have pictures of.

Know the seller and the rear and where it came from,

So it that a good thing? I can remember not long ago, when some experts were adamant that thre were no CBEs while other C-codes were readily documented on other late production Camaros.

To expect the same worker with the same set of stamps to hit each and every rear in the exact same way is just not likely in my thinking.

agree!!!

Just for clarity - it's the "B" font that changed, not the stamping technique.

Were the rears stamped with a gang stamp like the blocks?

Not an expert in any way on these, but could that have been a BL (CBL?) rear at one time ? The top of the "E" looks higher than the B, suggesting a bigger font on the E than the B as the bottoms line up ?

1970 Nova's got CBL coded 12 bolts, with a 3.07 gear, but they were not Posi.

From what I see at CRG, 1968 Camaros could get a BE rear, but they were 12 bolt 2.56 rears? Wow.... That would have gotten me excited if I peeked under a 68 and saw a "BE" rear 12 bolt! :)

Just thinking out loud. Seems like a smoking deal if it were real, and it seems to still be there, so......

Check out post # 3 in this link. Real nice example for comparison.

The owner of this rear end sold it as soon as he listed it for sale. Notice the spring perches were moved in also.

One would have been stamped during the '69 model year and the other during the '70 model year.

Here is a CBE which I believe to be authentic.

That Rearend has been sold and now resides in Kentucky...it was offered to a few members here prior to the sale.
