That is correct, its all NHRA Ok'd....The cars ship with the rear set up shown (these are at MPR in Michigan and came out of a couple of cars they have completed)

They are Jeep units, the NHRA allows the upper arms to be adjustable on the 4 link setup and a panhard to be run.

I can/will post scans of my "manual" for that section that came with our car (#24) being built by Mike at MPR right now.

Yep its legal

We are however unlike almost(except 2 I know of) going to run an 8 3/4 rear , Moser makes an aftermarket housing thats thiker/stronger , its actually based on a ford 9 inch unit with 8 3/4 flange and round back. That too is NHRA approved for use in the car. I would have gone with a dana because of gear selection, but now that Richmond is making an 4.86 Pro gear I decided to opt for the weight savings.

I have pics of just about everything in great detail of our car as it came, more to follow, if there is something specific anyone is looking for let me know and Ill send you a link.

Cheers

Chris
