26k_racing Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey guys, first off - awesome site ! here goes = 280zx original. im gutting interior to follow standard GT3 rules and regs. light roll cage to accommodate 2 racing seats and belts. This car will remain a daily driver and be tagged, thus horn, blinkers etc . will continue to work. pulling motor and installing a SBC race engine with about 350 hP. Its a 4 bolt maine with a holley 4412, 2 bbl carb. 9:1 compression. Saginaw 1.68 3 speed transmission my question is (and please try to just answer the question with a answer and not more questions or opinions) will the stock rear end and axels handle the power ? I wont be dumping the clutch and doing burn outs (drag racing style) I will be daily driving this car and weekend road course racing it ! thanks guys !!!

jhm Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Obviously you already understand that there's numerous variables at play here.....but the short answer is yes, you should be fine with the setup and usage you describe. I'm assuming your ZX has an R200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 R200 will certainly handle what you propose, makes sure that the axle shafts and bearings are good though. They should be OK but are the weak link rather than the diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26k_racing Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 10-4 yes i know there are many factors and yes its the r200. i was just curious if the r200 would become a grenade mated to 350hp thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
