  1. The dana 60 is the cheapest to build and you will never break it. stock gears are fine and there are many options for brakes depending on housing ends you choose. There are no issues on welding like the 8.8 (another popular choice) and it fits with minor frame mods.the large crossmember will need to be trimmed and ad a support right above it.. Cheap and easy.

  2. I am building a 1978 280z I bought with a 305,t-5 and a r200. I ran 13s till i broke the rear stubb axle.i currently have a 525-550hp 383 with a glide and narrowed dana with spool and 4.10 gears. my problem is going with ladderbars that I can make fit somewhat easy and affordable (end-o-buget) or back halve with 4 link. ?the 4 link i believe is better but the fit seams to be to long even with round tube and axle moved back an inch or two. Can I use custom rods that are shorter or will that make adjusting to hard?

  3. I will get a picture of my new 15x9 with 5 1/2 inch bs weld draglites ,28x 9 mt slicks on tommorrow. raised sping perch 2 in and cut heavy springs 3in to try and make halfshafts level.ran them one time before lowering car (cut sprimgs) and did fine. second time after burnout enjoyed pushing car from line with clunk clunk of u joints. gotta love making things work just hate learning the hard way
