JG240z Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hello, I used the search function but could not find a clear answer to my question. I am in the process of doing the SBF swap into my 71 240z. This car is going to be mainly a street car with no plans to do any racing with it. For a mild 302 build, is the R180 Diff capable of handling the power or do I need to do the R200 swap? Any information would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, the motor is out of a 87 Mustang mated to a T-5 tranny. Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleG Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Take a read through this sticky; http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/49194-differential-cv-lsd-hp-torque-r160-r180-r200-r230-diff-mount/ It mentions the R180 can take a big block v8 for street use, but if you go spinning the wheels to much, the insides will get chewed up. Check the stickies at the top of each section when your looking for info. Its usually covered in there. Good luck with your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
