Strange in the rear work pretty good, and AFCO double adjustables are twice the money Strange are... I think people have gone 7s with the strange.

Sounds good to me. So you have double adjustables all the way around?

Been working on converting over the TR6060 to work in my heap. Pretty much done, just need to cut the mainshaft. Here's the thread if you all want to follow along:

Got the rear end finally all put together, will have it in the car here soon. It's a moser fab 9 with their back brace, and a strange aluminum center with 3.50s and a spool:

Hello, My name is Jordan. I lurk this website for the purpose of gaining knowledge- threads like this teach me that to which I can only aspire.

I was browsing this night, and I came across something that forced me to register (I had registered previously about 7 years ago but I guess its gone) and post here, now.

I read this:
"31x12x4 Ebay intercooler"

Do not run any Ebay Intercooler on this build, please. They are cheap for a reason. If this was a supra I would say go with an HKS or greddy core- as it were, I am thinking Spearco or any high quality name brand. Just not a generic Ebay core- those things are great for budget builds, and yours is not a budget build!

^^^ I've since changed my mind (again) and sold the turbo headers and ebay intercooler that was setup for a single turbo. I am going twins now, and will be building a bell core intercooler like I originally had intended.

Anyways...

Started on the motor!



Getting crank cleaned for polishing:





filing the rings








Transmission is done,feels so smooth through the gears...


Got the rear in and it's finally a roller!

$900 for the housing, $350 for axles, $700 for the center section. We're going to be building a torque arm for it. So all in all, around $2200.
