Wow! Not my cup, but that is amazing.

I don't know you, Bob, but the way your mind works is awesome. You've posted a lot of cool stuff over the few years I've been on here. Your threads are always interesting. Respect.

May I ask what you use for under hood paint?

Viking Coil overs in, sway bar in, and 4 link hooked back up. Other than ride height adjustment, good to go.

True. But when they are attached to a nice carbureted BBC with some good cam overlap, they sound damn good. Mustangs have the wrong firing order and no cam. :cool:

I will caution you on those 50s or any chambered. My brother in law has them on his 57 with 3" all the way out the back. Sounds great, but the drone...gets a little annoying. The 50s are definitely quieter though.

Love that rear end set up! Did you have to upgrade internals and axles? 650 is going to test it if you hook, but you probably won't. I started with a 570/588 467 Mark IV, but my dad bought it off of me for his '47 Studebaker. I decided to go 467 with AFR 265s, 4 bolt conversion, forged...

Yeah, 285 will be really tight I'm betting. I assume your exhaust will be exiting before the rear wheel? I couldn't resist back-halfing the frame...so friggin tight with the X. Jag rear, that's interesting. Nice independent suspension then?

335/30R20 And I know, those 305mm rotors don't exactly fill that wheel...:dunno2

No oil, and all new, not trying to turn it at the pinion. I'll get it in the car and expect that it will need time to break in. Thank you for your responses, guys.

That is without the brakes.

This was the first rear end I've assembled so I'm not sure what is to be expected, but I noticed the axles did not spin freely once they were installed. Third member spun just fine prior to axle installation, but now they are really hard to turn. Is this normal? Thanks.

Probably should have started with this.

C6 rear brake kit in. Couple trips for different hardware and some grinding involved. 3.70 Tru Trac also in.

Yeah, I do have concerns about that. Just don't have a clue.
