As you can some pics, previous post, rear end is now out and gone to Specialist to be taken apart and
new seal put in , along with being checked out, Cleaned making sure all is good,
it is a winters rearend with 486 set up, with quick change gears we can adhust find drive quickly
Looks like a starting point around 4:10 final drive to start. This rear end is spool design
which in laymans terms like a welded diff, rear tires spin exactly the same
Ideally we would put in a detroit locker, bit like a limited diff, but likely starting with this set up
Should be fine, just a little getting use to and occasional one whell spinning to keep on tight turns.
Car has been completely stripped, 98% of suspension is now here and we can start putting it together,
Rear -end comes back we install rear suspension, Front springs 800lbs, rear 400lbs fairly stiff.
I have new brakes coming, complete set up, did deal on new for 1/2 price, good way to start and leaves up some spares.
Willwood 4 pot front and rears witth PFC race pads, should stop good.
Checked in with Armstrongs, engine is due to be torn apart next week, so see what that looks like
hopefully have back soon. Found seat ( on its way) new race harness among other stuff.
Lots to do, seems like lots of time, but 3 months to race season, comes quick

Got a call for Armstrongs yesterday
needs pistons, bearings and It has
flat tappet cam, so going to change that too.
Going to a solid roller cam,
which means rebuild heads, new lifters and springs,
but should be better
Going to try and reduce compression ratio,
currently 11-1
hopfully 9,5 or 10 to 1
little easier on engine.
Should make good HP and TQ.

That’s awesome Trevor. You are going to have fun with that car.
Lets hope, plan is to have fun and be fast,
put it all together maybe win a race or two.
But still lots to do before we turn first wheel.
Got the rearend back, fully rebuilt, new gears
final drive should be real close to 4.10's somewhere in August hoping to do
a test, where we will go up a couple of sets and down, but three of the current
GT1 cars running this, so good starting point.
With winters qucik change rear end, can change gears in about 10-15 minutes.
this year staying with spool, next year upgrade to locker style rear end.
