Anything can be accomplised given enough time and money.Pro's and cons to everything,there was a reason why the engineers built ABCE and truck rears.I pulled a B body rear out of an A body that someone decided to change,probably because they didn't want to pay for A body rear.It costs me 75.00 to have the A's drilled to 4.5 My opinion is you guy's do all the crazy stuff you want,thats why they call it Hotrodding,I'll spend the 75 and keep the A body rear.

You should fire your machinist.Three of my own are running drilled axles,I have friends in different states that use them.Axle hubs??????? 8 3/4 axle is a one piece item.If you have enough torque to twist an axle apart you need a DANA!!!Thats nuts it only leaves like 1/4 inch of meat left on the axles. I had a friend that decided to do that and axle hubs came apart.
