That'll be good next year then, Dave. I'll have to watch my morrors.

Jeff, have you decided against coming over to the dark side then?

I wouldn't go past you, because then you'll see the wonky rear bodywork and one wheel sticking out a little too far.

Can't get any sensible gearing with a live axle :(

Took me ages to source a 3.1 diff, even with a Sierra unit :o

power isnt a big problem , even for such "small" axles...the problem is the torque...you may destroy such an axle within a few months having a tuned V8 fitted...but it will last with a less torquey, highly tuned 4cylinder for a long time.
