Welded differentials.....who is willing to admit that they have done it?

Done it!! A buddy and I put together a 79 Malibu with a 406 in it. We welded up the 3.42 gear that was in it, through on some dirt track tires and went drag racing...yep...drag racing with Hoisier dirt track tires on the back. Blew up the gears after the 3rd pass. Figured out S-10's with 5 spd has 3.73 gears in them and, did it again but with more weld. More weld was the answer but, then it twisted the axles. That thing ran 7.40 in the 1/8 mile and, we only had about $1,000 in it...lol. If all your doing is out running Roscoe in the back 40 you should be fine...lol
