Thanks, Jack. I'm getting plenty of other opinions as well but the ideas are all over the place. Use a Ford 8" axle with new shafts and a Quaife unit, one says. I've heard mention of a Toyota 8" unit too (well built, LSD available, wide choice of ratios, etc.), but I'd put that quite a way...

Hi Jack, Many thanks for the words of advice. This car was raced very successfully from 1967 to 1989 but I have no idea when the current TR axle was fitted, so, your point is well taken regarding unknown abuse it may have suffered.

Frank was the guy I wanted to go with me when I bought Toly Arutunoff's 1967 4/4 racer, which I'm now recommissioning for track duty (it's taking a very long time). We had a fun drive to Oklahoma (about 14 hours each way). Yes, we were still friends after that long run, even when he learned I'm not ...
