Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator

Thx

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

your welcome, btw, i'm still learning, too.

there's WAY smarter guys on here than me..

You probably don't need a 12 bolt for that car, especially if you're going to run a 305 or smaller engine. If you can get the right gear to go in an 8 5/8" 10 bolt, it'd probably be a little faster. Nothing really wrong with putting a 12 bolt in it if you want, it'll last longer and require less attention and maintenance. It just might not be quite as quick, if you care a lot about ET.

why is the 8.5/8 faster if this isn't a stupid question.what if it is a stick car?

Thx

12 bolt, Pro gears, girdle cover

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

thx .i appreciate the help

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

Mark is right. In fact, with a stick car, go buy a new KTR 12 bolt housing, from Mark Williams, Strange, or Moser, with big bearings, steel caps, steel spool, rear cover with girdle, and 35 spline axles.

I figured you were going to run a 305 automatic, like a TH200. My mistake.

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

no i won't run a auto,haven't ever ran one always a stick.but i was wondering about these stock rules since all i ever ran was modified before...trying to teach old dog new tricks..lol

Thx

NOT A SLUSH BOX!?!?!!?
how dare you try and swim upstream!

;)


what class ya figguring on being in?

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

It looks like it will drop into K or L,

I think at least that what i figured,That is why i was wondering about if i could use a 12 bolt instead of the 10 bolt.I still think like a Modified racer so i need the strength,i figure it will have a 5.38 or 5.57 gear in it.

Thx

Moser makes a complete bolt in replacement 12 bolt for your car.They will fix it your way .

Glad to see you settled on the stocker. Don't try the 10 bolt. I had a customer that chased one for about 3 years. It always broke at the wrong time. In the finals or first round!! If you know what I mean.... :~)

Mike you may want to get a hold of Mike & David DeFrehn. They have a shop in South Charleston & their stuff is fast. They also have done these dish 305's...... just give ya a head start & they live close. ;)

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

Thx Greg i appreciate it,didn't know anybody was that close to me racing stock.

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

Mike,
I have an old bud that runs the 305 combo in stock with a stick. I'm pretty sure it is the dish version of the 305 and he had Woodro work the heads.

Mike the DeFrehn's run SS but have built some good "stocker" engines. I live up the road in Jackson OH right off U.S.35. I run stock...dad runs stock...Matt Potts runs SS & lives in Minford Oh. Along with his brother Jeff who runs stock. My Buddy Mike Galuk lived in Huntington but passed away in Nov. He was building an 80 Malibu ...we(dad & i ) had it started & broke the cam-in then Mike took it back to his house to finish....well I need to get it some time this spring & get it up & running so his wife can sell it. If ya have any questions my # is (740) 710-9698....I work 2nd shift so afternoons work.

Re: What Rearend are Legal in Stock Eliminator
 

Yeah i know Mike & David,i thought Mike worked at Appalachian Motor Service,did know he was on his own now.He and I don't like each other to much it goes back a long time ago.But i appreciate the info everything helps.But I probably go with Woodrow i think.

Thx

Mike
