    Thumbs up Good to Go

    Juan,

    Your wire wheels will take anything you can give them, they will be fine.
    Plus only one will spin!!!

    Only one will spin

    Rick,

    That's right, I think you told me that before. Do all the rears that Unique puts in their cars same as mine? Or is that an option to go with where both wheels spin?

    Two-spinning tires is optional.

    Oh, and note that as long as the tires are spinning, there's hardly any load on your wire wheels. Wheelspin actually SAVES driveline parts. It's traction that breaks stuff.

    Over in the Jeep world, many of the parts that Cobra-philes consider "bulletproof" behind FE and 385 series big blocks are considered marginal at best behind mild V-8's or hot 6-cylinders because the gear reductions and lack of wheelspin really load the forces into them.

    Open Rear End, 3:54

    Juan,

    Your differental is an open unit, only one wheel pulling.

    There are options that you can purchase so when Mr. Capps does a Jag unit he can add a Auburn Unit, or a locker, depending on the customers preference. Most are done with Auburn Units. The housing remains the same, the internals are changed.

    Thumbs up Nice

    Juan,

    Nice looking motor. DSS is known in the 5.0 community very well and they make good horsepower. You should be pleased!
    After all of the money you have spent on it I would remove the housing and take it to Mr. Capps for some traction. If you don't, you might as well have kept the motor you had because you cant push the pedal on the new one. Plus, one black mark on the pavement is a joke.

    At least she will lope at idle (-:
