nifty conversion kit.

this may be something i'll have a closer look at if the 406 is going to produce the torque we think it is. a 9 inch ford with disc brakes and there should'nt be any worries about making flat out passes.

Interesting. I wonder if this is the same kit Flyin-Ryan put in his 76? I haven't seen him on here in years but his avatar showed his corvette doing a wheel stand in the quarter mile.

As I am still very new to all this I would like to ask why would you want a solid rear axle in the car as opposed to independent rear suspension ? Thanks for any insights.

the c3 irs will not take the shock of launching the car under high torque loads. there is too much flex and many components to break, six u-joints instead of two, half shafts, yokes etc. for drag racing a solid rear with a four link or ladder bar set up is the better choice. for road course/slalom style driving you can't beat the irs.
