" iirc 2.73s and 2.56s could be found on some late-'70s amc v8s.  they

" i still would like to know if the hummer 3.08 fits the regular hummer
" 2.73/2.56 torsen carrier or if it has its own carrier.

" i am assuming you know that the hummer [h1], true to its amgeneral

" "I don't know much about Hummers except there aren't any in the yards around
" here.  So I think they are just as tough if not tougher to find."

doesn't surprise me.  they're current production though, unlike most
all your other gear sources.

" " Andrew I will certainly let you know if I happen across finding which
" gearsets fit in which carriers, I think Randy Guynn or some one had something
" about this a while ago."

i recall randy's posting; it settled the hash about the 2.86 carrier
question, but afaik i'm the first one on this list to learn hummers
even had a 3.08 gear.  probably it's the same as jeep's 3.07 gear and
goes on a '3-series' carrier, but amgeneral's h1 parts supply would be
simpler if it fit the '2-series' like the other hummer gears.

" "I had heard that the AMGeneral H1 had AMC 20 axles. I've never been close
" enough to one of them to see for sure. I do know a fella up north has one,
" I see him every once in a while, I'll look closer the next time I see it."

hey frank - or anyone else contemplating a rad custom early classic or
ambo - hoopy idea:  jag or vette irs like you have now, but with a
hummer diff hooked to the original torque tube...
