You could even run the 8 1/4 in that if you could find
the needed parts. My 80 Mirada 318 O/SA ran a 8 1/4 forever without breakage!

With the power level and weight you will have I would consider a 8 3/4 Detroit locker. The Locker for the 489 case fits up to 4.56 gears.
Most of the time a Locker will have a spool beat on MPH. 30 spline gives you plenty of choices in Stock or stock re-splined axels That are budget friendly and plenty strong. If you do go all out on axels a 30 spline has a weight advantage. I'm not sure, but you might even find a gun drilled 30 is available. .02 for free

I had thought about the 8-1/4, but then I would be back to starting at 0, I have no parts for one.
This is kinda going to be a "dime rocket" but more likely a "50 cent rocket". Thanks for all the replies. |

if you are going to use a spool, measure what axles lengths you require. i may have a free set of aftermarket axles |
