As for the final solution for the rear end, yes, I would be more inclined to use an old Pontiac/Olds rear... but as has been pointed out, I don't think it fits within the way the rules are written.
So, for this season, I'll make sure I have a couple sets of 5.13's on hand.
However, I have come up with a bit of an "off the wall" idea ( I know, the car is already off the wall ) as a possible solution, which I will attempt to to put into motion this winter.
In the mean time, it's so off the wall, that I dare not mention it !
You are allowed any GM corporate rear upgrade which includes the late 1950's/early 1960;s olds/pontiac rears that are beig talked about on this thread. Good luck. Thats a cool ride.
