Noted. I guess I'm paranoid?

The engineering department agrees with Nate on the boxing being ample. As a machinist I'm sure you're aware of how rarely engineers are ever wrong  ;D


Cavity wax is a decent option for inside the frame.


If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Just watched a video about 3m cavity wax. That seems like a great idea actually.

Engineers...lol. My favorite was a recent part we made.

Print called it 6 holes @ 90° on a 5" bolt circle.

I called the customer.

"You want 6 at 60° or stay with 90° and we'll drill two of them twice?"

See? Machinists can never read prints.

Drill those holes twice! It's our way of making sure you know what 90° looks like.

If two holes are elongated, we'll know you don't.  ;)

In my professional opinion, probably no higher than 259.

Unless he puts a coupla snails on it. Then 261, no problem.

Snails were the plan from the start.  Looking to hit 1000 on the dyno if I can afford enough fuel system and then run 700ish on the street

Yeah, you'll be fine.

When I look up 9" rear end widths is the measurement listed flange to flange on the housing or is it axle flange to axle flange?

I've read all those links already. I need to know, as an example, if I buy a 60" rear end of that's axle flange to flange or not.

I haven't found any dimensions from housing flange to axle flange listed anywhere and that's the number that really matters.

I have an email in to quick performance about this and having them build the rear end for me.

I must be reading impaired. I didn't see where you asked that question in your post.

I though you wanted overall length.
