No, its not. But McLeod says they can take 5k rpm clutch dumps on slicks so I better start stockpiling axles until I upgrade!

Keeping the T56 now that I just put a $1600 clutch in it. If it becomes a problem there are upgrades that can be done. They are rated to 700 lb/ft and I am pushing the limit when on nitrous.

Not a huge problem. I had asked around on a facebook site about the truck dana's, so I know what issues I would have to correct. Keep me in mind come springtime. I am looking for an rear end out of the 2004-2006 SRT10 Rams, if I come up empty I will need a back up plan.

8 lug, I assume?

I would be. Out of a car or truck?

Just running a stock 8 3/4 with 3.91's for now.

My exhaust is fairly quiet at idle and cruise, so it does surprise people when they see it running 114 in the quarter. The motor is still 100% stock , so that throws people as well. The problem with my exhaust is that its under the rockers right where I imagine the frame outriggers would need...

I did, but you can get them made for either spring under or spring over. Yeah, the truck frames were designed to flex. Not so good for drag racing. I am tempted to cage it, but I think I would have to trash my exhaust to do it. Not too thrilled about that.

I just went with the traction bars for now. I want to set the GoPro up to catch the suspension action so I can see if there is a need to upgrade the shocks and springs. They definitely cured the wheelhop, but I wasnt able to get wheelspin under control before I snapped an axle. Just got the...

My garage page here is as close to a build thread as I have. '78 Warlock 5.7/t56

Just an FYI for anyone in need of axles for a truck 8 3/4" rear end. Station wagons use the same axle shafts as the trucks. Might make someones search easier...

I think this was a couple runs before it broke.

Its been a while since I poked my head in here. Figured I would give an update on the truck. For those that dont know- its a '78 Warlock with a 5.7 VVT Hemi and Viper 6 speed swap. Rebuilt the suspension and lowered it this spring. Also added nitrous to it and had it dyno tuned so it wouldnt...

Currently, my speedo reads correct with the smaller factory tire size. I want to upsize to the larger factory tire option, and want the speedo to read correctly after that. I used the google, and found that there is an electronic adjustment for my truck. No hardware to swap, just a simple...

I just bought a '96 F150 and it needs tires badly. It has the tiny 235/75-15 on it now, but the factory upsize was a 265/75-15. I would like to go to the larger tire, but I want the speedo to read correctly and since I am a Mopar guy I do not know how the Fords adjusted for tire size. How do...
