Moser axles, US Gear 3.73, Eaton posi with all steel clutches & 800 lb springs...all in a welded tubed, Ford style bearing ended, good old GM 12 bolt.
Doesn't see the track too often...maybe 5-6 times a year. Traction not nearly as good on the street as with the slicks, of course.
Probably why I haven't had the mis-fortune others have had lately with broken ring gears.
Thanks for the interest... :beers:

Shhh...don't mention that name...now he'll show up. :p
Believe me Bob, he has. I may run the car this Sunday at a local 1/8 mi track. They're having a Show N Go event.
I've really been into the Car shows and Cruise nights lately...

Well, it`s been awhile, way too long since I had BigRed out.
The last time I drove it was the night of the ET in the signature.

I got a warning to slow it down (NO ROLL BAR)
I`m not ever going to put a bar in it, but since the rules have changed I can still play somemore.

But I want to work the rear end over and was considering a lockright or maybe better spiders etc...

But hey now...on another note.. a 496" is going into our 78 Camaro any day now.
