The car will have two inline Big Blocks. Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSprOTA-X8M I believe only Lenco transmissions will handle the power. Will start with a ST 1200. Would a truck axle, something like the Dana S110, maybe even a Detroit axle or Meritor, be better than a beefed up Ford 9"? Pros/cons? The car is intended to be primarily street driven, with occasional strip and salt-flats amateur races. It will have some cheater slicks. Will those truck axles withstand high speeds, like a salt-flats run? Would they survive full power quarter mile launches? I can live with an open-diff. Of course locking wouldn't hurt. Thanks in advance.
The S110 is very strong & was introduced to be the next step up from a Dana 80. The S110 is a joint effort with the housing from Dana & the center section from Eaton Fuller. Just make sure the gearing available is in the range you want.
