Thanks Steve

Ok do you drive on the street at all . I was looking at a locker because of everyone saying how good they are. Does have the driver mount added. Opinions on 3.89 gears.

 

[MRHP]

I drive 99% on the street. A spool is not for everybody. It pushes around turns. I will most likely build a 3.50 gear with a posi for this summer.

My car is hot street.

Ok then I guess I'm good with the gears I picked for now if you both are running 4.30 and 4.56 gears. What's trans you running 4 , 5 speed or th 400?

Connected to big 409s I would think right
How about drive shafts . I heard that inland empire makes a two piece .

I'm not running the 9 inch, but I went with 3.73 in my dana 60.
35 spline, detroit locker, richmond 6 speed. 2 piece drive shaft.
Anything over 30 spline is pretty much beefcake for the street.

I have an Inland Empire 2 piece shaft 1350 series joints with billet carrier bearing.

Well, I bought the Inland driveshaft, and I have some concern's about tunnel clearance. The tube diameter is huge. I don't remember the O.D., but it's huge. So big, that I'm going to have to modify something.
I ran stainless fuel line thru the tunnel as GM did on the 48 & 09 cars. Well, after my driveshaft arrived, and I installed it, I can see that the fuel line won't work there (my car is not road ready yet).
My car sit's a little high, front and back. So the rear housing is offset about an inch. This means that I'm going to have to install an adjustable panard bar to shift the housing a half inch. This is also going to cause more clearance issue's in the rear tunnel area. My driveshaft barely clears now!
Did you guy's cut the rear tunnel for clearance ?
I know I can't be the only guy with this problem.

Sorry, Tons, I don't mean to highjack your thread. I read this, and it reminded me of my problem, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has this issue. Kinda' fit's in with issues listed above.

Zero adjustments, but when my 9 inch was made, the yolk is centered in the vehicle. I do not know if the factory axle had the yolk off center or not?

No big bubble top that's how you learn about stuff . That's why we are all on here to ask who did with our cars and learn form and help each other out.
