What rearend setups are you guys using? also what about the driveshaft? how much can a stock driveshaft take?

 

What do you mean by "rear end setups"? what's inside the differential or the suspension?

 

what housing, internals etc.

 

How much power you planning on David?

 

Hoping for 500rwhp right now but want it to be strong and not worry about breaking it. Gonna order a kb Turbo kit with the 70mm kit(thinking of maybe getting a 76mm though)and just run some meth for right now.

 

I went with a Drive Shaft Specialist 4in 0.120 wall Aluminum driveshaft with my 80 swap. It has built for 1350 ujoints and yoke up front, but the rear ujoint is a hybrid 1350/stocker. When i redo my pinion gears i am gonna swap it out for a solid 1350 and new pinion yoke.

 

Get the stock drive shaft high speed balanced and it will be fine. An aftermarket posi in the rear will do too.

 

I'm running a used Eaton Posi, used GM 4.10 gears, new bearings, carrier bearing cap studs. I do plan on adding a girdle cover in the future and maybe even some braces after seeing Turbo Mic's bent Moser rear axle.

Driveshaft is currently stock, but I plan on getting with Driveshaft Specialist for a new one with 1350 joints.
