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?
