33's are a little over kit, drew isnt trying to go 8's, i think ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
31's and a detroit would work ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
spool would be better ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

33's = un-needed weight
spool = poop (at least if it were in my car..lol)
The rearend is already back in my car. As sad as it is, I would have made last Saturdays race, had it not rained. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Oh well, I'll be there on the 22, weather permitting.

why would a spool be poop, the car isnt ever running long enough to be considered a steet car
crap my "street" car is getting a spool, it will "drive" fine

We obviously have different ideas on what a street car is.
My car hasn't been down a single day since this 347 has been up and running, aside from upgrades and this rearend breakag
e of course.
My car is still a pleasure to drive around town, not a PITA and I'd like to keep it that way. My car will always pull double duty as a street/strip car and I'll do my best to take the best of both worlds to find a happy medium.

I doubt I'd call a spool "streetable". Breaking that first axle doing a quick turn will change your mind. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
I'll take my 11.40's/full power/working AC/leather interior streetcar anyday!

yeah yeah yeah, ac this, power steering that, it all comes down to what you want in the end
and the street car and driveable where in " " for a reason, it was a joke
with ladder bars i wont be able to turn fast anyway, so a spool will worry me less than bending a track link

I drove my 69 on the street with ladder bars and a spool and will again. It isn't as bad as you might think. One of the tricks for street driving with ladder bars is to loosen the Jamb nuts on the rod ends. They are threaded so far into the ladder bar it isn't a big deal. I would put a wrench on them at the track. As far as turning with a spool it would drag the inside tire only on super tight turns other than that you couldn't even tell it was there. Don't try it with stock axles. It isn't a rain driven car either.

moser 31 splines in a 9", should be ok, i hope ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif)
and i went with spherical ends so i think it will not bind quite as easy as an all solid setup
