Default Rear Design

Iggy,
The rear design is just as cost effective to go with the IRS. The number or stainless forged urethane joints cost that of a 5 link live axle when you figure in the better grade w/ poly jackets for keeping out the grit, due to the loading.
If I even thought of a small block it would be a 351W that I later swapped for a 392 stroker of that type. Now if you're going to build a REPLICA 289 Comp version or FIA, then a small block for sure.
Did not receive your eMail, or would have sent the stainless pics you wanted.
