The rear is stock. We broke the locker first pass. We pulled it out and welded it up. After the 9.27 pass, we gave it a little more. Broke the axle. We are waiting for some axles from Mark Willaims. Trying to put it in the 8's.


Thank guys, it was a fun project.

Sounds like a good application for a Detroit Locker to go with those axles. Am I correct that it's a 7.0L running up to 7400rpm?

The truck has a 427 LSX, 2 stages wet, stock style suspension which is considered a 4 bar setup not really a 4-link, stock rear end with detroit locker, 4,625 pounds with driver, full interior and full cage.

so its a 8.5" 10 bolt? Do you think with built axles and maybe a spool or beefier differential it'll suffice? Or is the ring/pinion - housing design flawed for such an application?
