How to plan for an efficient driveline.
I plan on putting a Shafiroff 598 BBC that will be pushing 875 at the crank in a '69 Camaro. I want to be able to put as much of that to the rear wheels as possible. I am doing my research on driveline components that will yield the most efficient driveline.
What suggestions do you have? Transmission? Driveshaft? Other Components etc. Thanks
Robert

Having parts that will hold up to that kind of power will probably come first, drivetrain losses later. Also everything depends on how the car will be used, weight and tire size.

Carbon Fiber Driveshaft. Handle lots of torque, low rotational weight, and if a u-joint failes the shaft will tear itself apart hitting the bottom of the car rather than taking out your legs.

Cryo-REM everything that turns in the driveline.
