Is that a pump mount from ron's? which one? from center of engine how far to the pass side does the pump/bracket extend? trying to fit to a motor for my dragster.thanks paul
Might look at e body axles. would probably have to trim about 3/8 off each but would probably leave enough spline.(barely). being even longer than b body rearends will make it tighter wheel/tire clearance for an a body. I have narrowed lots of b,c,e body housings to fit better in the a bodies.I...
Be very careful with axle length especially with cone traclok or a powerlok with the 2 pc side gears or you will take the splines off the end of axle where they do not engage enough.paul
Probably a front pinion bearing went first causing end play. then crunch. front bearing is the same as 12 bolt.ford 9" but not as heavy as the 742 cases.sometimes pinion nut backs of from driveline vibrations or reusing nut after seal change( seen lots of those in all rearends).paul
I am in rockwell nc(salisbury) doing narrowing,gear sets etc. narrow housing is $125. but must warn about resplined axles. have seen/thrown away many that are twisted in mild street use. any car with good traction will over time twist them off. any car that can run a 12 sec 1/4 would not be good...
I have broken/seen broken hundreds of rearends over 35+ years of doing this. most common is broken gears. they are expendables ie they do not last forever. second broken main caps/bolts. my car in pic ran 8 sec 1/4 3000/bs gearset would last between 150-200 passes. 8 3/4 with strange axles and...
Lots of possibilitys. dana 60, 8 3/4, 8.8, ford 9" ford.If you would like to discuss some options pm me for phone number. 35+ years doing gears,narrowing etc.paul
Looking for dragster style oil pan max 5 1/2 in rear. can not have kickout on right side as I had to relocate starter to right side. also looking for tunnel ram intake for a bb for max wedge ports for the indy or edelbrock heads. prefer sheet metal.paul
