Wow, that is a bad disquise, hammer dents and stamp.....lotta red flags.
I wonder whats under the cover ? There is definately a curved letter under the E...a U or C or ? The font looks right on , but the position of the E is terrible..... jmo...I'd pass, if I needed a real one I'd contact Enio...or Chuck

Ive had a BV rear with 519 date before. The V almost looks still visible under the E now that I look at it again.

Doesnt the BE rearend have straight axle tubes from the carrier to the axle flange whereas the BV and other lesser 12 bolts have a taper in the last 1/2 inch or so at the rear side of the flange where the backing plate bolts are. I always thought BE 12 bolts had the larger Full Sized (Impala) etc outboard axle bearings and larger carrier bearings also? I know there was no pic of this area but can someone tell a BE by external appearances besides the stamping. Ive read the gears are heat treated also. Can anyone shed any light on this? Just curious Thanks

Mike </div></div> Mike I agree with you. I'm betting it started life as a BL 307 non posi and the E (Eaton ) was added as well.

![]() The tapered tubes or not mbx' is thinking of is actually a JL8 thing. I forget which is what but believe tapered or not indicates factory installed JL8 units compared to over the counter service parts. Back to the bogus BE, is the 'stamping' not done w/ acid...a Timothy Leary follower perhaps? Note the craters you can see when looking closely, again similar work to some altered pads and stampings we've looked at here before. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete
