Only problem I see Dave having with his is getting traction! Think your chassis is going to be able to handle the abuse of that power Z? For the HP and TQ you are going to have those wheels are going to be like bicycle wheels LOL!
Ya Dave you might want to start stock piling axle shafts, tranny mounts, and u joints. FB rearend aren't all that tough.
Glad your tearing into it Adrian, thank god the housings and rotors were still good.

you can see some evidence to why you had stuck seals. That thing looks like it wasn't maintained right or it had been sitting for a length of time. Good to hear you got it back together. We will see it tomorrow at Izzy's, right?
Who did you end up getting some good apex seals from?
