Them driveshafts are nice. Ditched my stock and threw one one myself. Did you have 3.42's in your stock rear?

I'm looking at that same rear myself. I'm actually surprised I haven't blown mine yet!

Elliott, got my throttle body the other day. Much thanks! It's a beauty.

Wow! Good luck with your build-up man!
I have a nice build going on myself this winter. I'm in the process of doing a 408 for my 98 Z28. But the Strange S60 is my choice of rearend as well. Only with 3.73's and not 4.10's. Well just wanted to say good Luck with the car and Wish you all the best!

Nice choice on your rear . I have one with 3.73s. I don't think I could break it even if it was my goal .

Mike - When you have Larry setup the rearend, are you planning on keeping the torque arm on the transmission, or are you planning on going with a torque arm relocation crossmember? I know you were debating before...

Yea, they can take some power. I don't plan on beating the crap out of mine, it's just a stock low mileage T56, I want to drive and enjoy it, but I have a feeling if I start romping on mine too much it'll break.

When it does, get it built.
