BX axle code?

[Kurt S]

Yes, BE axle components were unique in their heat treatment.

I've only seen high impact on service parts.

I believe there is a known COPO 4.56 axle for a 1969 Camaro that has heat treated 4.56 gears and a COPO posi unit.

And was it in a COPO 427 car?

Its always been my understanding that in 69 a 4;56 or 4;88 could have been either dealer installed or COPO ordered.If the axle tubes are stamped BWor QG, or for the 4;88 gears BX or QH, that is a definate indication they were COPO ordered.

I believe it was. It was talked about on here in a previous thread about COPO axles.

Sounds right - 427 cars would get different heattreat - be it the 4.10 that most got or the 4.56 that a very few got.
A 4.56 gear in a 69 Z would be normal gears.

Yes and the car has legit paperwork. It is a white 427 COPO car I saw it at Super Chevy Atlanta 10 years ago or so.

There's one other one out there too.

I'm happy to hear that the rear was swapped at the dealer and the dealer ended up eating it. I'm a loooooooooong time GM dealer employee, and I tell people stuff like this happened and they tell me I am Full of S##T!!! I try to tell them it happened, I know, because I was there.
I know NOTHING about the car in this thread, but I had to throw in my 2cents about the dealership story! HA!!!

I believe that there was a burnished brown original COPO 4.56 axle car built.
