I'm looking into one for my C5 and might even use one in the Gen 5 Camaro SS. Need to find a good axle maker for these, so if anyone has recommends....
Shipping is to the dealer or can be to a freight terminal if not buying from the parts department. I'm 20 minutes to the grocery store, have my own forklift, yet Fedex's computer billing still hits me with a residential surcharge out here 🤬
The parts department has the inverter, but it's undocumented AFAIK. Looking at Sandy Monroe's horrible teardown (more verbal than physical abuse as a "teardown" in that video...maybe some bad attitude because he used to work for Ford?), the inverter is such a messy assembly that I think it's good it doesn't come with the drive unit. If it was documented as far as CAN command, maybe.
The mounts aren't any more beefy than what's needed for the diff on any ~300HP electric car build. It's from Borg-Warner, a top tier supplier (yes, even for the first Tesla Roadster, fanboys), so quality should not be an issue.
