With all the discussion on axles and rear suspensions I thought I'd show what I've been up to. Most of the replacement axles mentioned on the board(ford 8", dana 44, etc) are scarce as hens teeth up here in WI, so I went the GM route and used '95 camaro axle with 3.42 gears and posi. Narrowed about 18" and new brackets for shocks, control arms, panhard rod etc. An S10 axle would work for a leaf spring set ups. Some my poo-poo the gm 7.5 axles but I've road raced them with engines over 375 hp and never had a problem. Drag racing with a heavy car and sticky tires may be a different animal, but this car will have a round 220hp and similar torque numbers.
