havent updated this for a while i bought some 3.5 gears for the 9 inch so gotta get them fitted up and dont think ill do anythign more to this motor as tommorow i pick up a 355 stroker kit come crank rods and kb pistons that will be replaced by some forgies not sure were this motor will end up keen to get it dynoed to see what it puts out and to take it to heathcote one more time to see what i can squeze out of it

Yeah mate, leave the 308 in for as long as possible and build the 355 properly!

[mr5000]

well been a really really long time since ive updated this long story short 9 inch went boom bigtime which inspired an all out attack on the rear end
diff is now currently 31 spline moser axles detroit true trac centre with 3.5 motive gears in a strange pro nodular iron third member case with a strange daytona alloy pinion support and a strange chrome moly 1350 series yoke all out it has set me back alot of coin but im confident in its strength now ive got some vn heads im gonna hot up and chuck on this 308 and see how well it can go did 14.7 last time with crappy old banjo and tiny wheels but pulled 98mph so has alot of potential for better numbers just need some bigger wheel and ill head back to heathcote for another crack
heres some photos of new goodies

[mr5000]

i put the 9 inch in and have had a ball driving it took it to a club event at deca and drove the wheels off of it





ended up frying the clutch and possibly cooking the starter motor the old aussie 4 help up really well but drained the oil on it and not one bit of metal or even discolouration from 6yr old oil pulled the fly wheel off and gave it a machine old flywheel bolts stripped on the way out so bought a set of arp jobs for 16 bucks just gotta get a clutch monday and should be all ready for maroondah dam run

[mr5000]

freshly machined flywheel with new arp bolts they have heaps more thread bite than the crappy standard ones

also while i was underneath the car noticed a fair bit of weld on the inside of the extractor flanges probably wont do much but i ground them nice and flat
