A lot of brocken drive train. ;39

Thats why I did the engine last.
Custom 9" Diff, Billet 35 Spline Axles, Detroit Locker...plus a lot of other goodies, Chrome Moly 2 Piece Tail shaft...

Everything in my drive line is over engineered for what I have in the engine bay now...but will be suited to the next power plant.....

Build it once, Build it properly....Cheaper in the long run...even if it looks like a lot of cash now....

Gas

GAS455 where did you det the tail shaft & how much?

Are you sitting down....

I got it made in QLD with custom centre bearing from the guy who makes the driveshafts for the V8 Supercars.
I can't remember the name of the place....I will have a think about it..

It cost me just over $2,000:}

Built to handle well over 1200HP....Plus the Torque of a big cube Pontiac engine...
;35

I would say a one piece without the centre bearing would be a lot cheaper....but I had to go that way with my chassis..

Build it right and build it once. It's a lot cheaper (and safer) in the long run - especially when you consider what catastrophic damage a broken shaft can cause.
