I'm building a 68 Camaro and putting a lightly modded LS1 - 4l60e with a Yank SS3600 stall in it. I am almost ready to build up the rear end. Just can't make up my mind which way to go. Here is what I have.
1. A Ford Nodular Center section built at Tex Racing. Got all the goodies- Detroit Locker ( I would rather it be a tru-trak ) Micro polished and backcut 3.50 gears, ARP bolts that are tied together, and custom yoke. I still need axles and a housing.
2. A 8.5 10 Bolt that I could build any way that I want.
Either way I go I am going to have to have it narrowed a touch to 58.75 wide. So I've got to by axles either way. Going to be running LS1 rear disk and already have Moser 7900 housing ends to put on either rear for a simple bolt on brake sytem. The car is going to be a autocrossing, occasional ( couple of times a year ) dragstrip, but mostly driver . I like the 10 bolt for less hp loss, strong, and looks alot better with a Moser housing cover on it. On the other hand I like the Ford for being overkill for my setup. So do I sell the Ford Nascar center section and build up my 10 bolt or do I just go straight overkill and build up the Ford rear?
Thanks, Dion
