Robert, If you ever want to try a 4.11 I have a complete third member with a mini spool you would be welcome to try. Also is your 8" one of the "beefy" ones that looks like a mini 9" with the extra webbing on the case? Tom.

Tommy,

Yes, the housing I used for the 4:62 was the beefy housing. I've heard these referred to as "War" housings. Like the 9" version they have the extra ribs. I believe some 9" housings actually had this cast into them.

I seriously considered building a 4:11 at the same time we put the 4:62 together. I have another spare rear available. I might take you up on that at some point in time. Be interesting to see what the difference in time might be if I could hit a T&T at Raceway or Muncie. Don't you live just up the road in the Smith Valley area?

Bob

Is Dan Skelton still around there?
I bought the Dana 60 for the Camaro in my Avatar from him, he lived on the corner of Morgantown and Smith Valley roads

Yep, Dan is still at the Suds every Saturday night. Think he's down to a couple of hundred cars though.

Keep grinding on the Stang, someone has to finish one of these 2bbl 302's! Between the lack of warmth, lack of activity, and lack of funds, I am going nuts here!

Hey Joe, go read the "Wagon Train" thread. These FFFords may be dead before we even get'em sorted out.There's a new car with modern technology lurking in the background. If the new cars make it to "U", we're all hosed, LOL!!!! If someone out there is going to build one. Hope it surfaces quick before I sink much more money down this rat hole.
