West Coast, that's why I posted, I don't want anyone else to go through what I had to.

Chad, thanks for the heads up. The clouds are getting very dark here, we are all button down. We should be fine.

Toby, the shipping was 190.00 the parts were 475.00. It was definitely not something I budgeted for. I guess I will miss a national to make up for the loss.

Rock, and I thought we were friends.

Terry, according to the rule book it says nothing about aluminum center sections. To say it never came with it means absolute nothing. I have a pro trans 6c with 904 parts. My ring gear is lighten, I have aluminum spool. I have 33 spline axles. I have rear disc breaks. I have headers. I have a aftermarket shifter. I have a removable steering wheel. I have wheelie bars, shall I go on?

This is the rule that is in the NHRA rule book for rear end replacement.

"Original rear end may be replaced with another from the same automobile manufacture"

Ford sells a replacement rear that has a aluminum center section, tell me were it says I can not use a aluminum center section. The car is built according to the rule book. I except their decision, but the rule book needs to be changed or they need to let us use parts that we can buy from the manufacture. I thought that was the idea, we race and buy parts from companies that support us.

John, I was not hiding or did I want to hide the fact that I have an aluminum center section. My car is built according to the NHRA rule book.
