well all u may know me from my car being on this forum a few times. i drive a green 71 datsun 1200 coupe. Equiped with a ka24e with 45 webers, zx traney, 510 wagon rear diff with truck 4:38 gears. well.. i upgraded to a ka24de 16 valve with the early cams. pull hard up to 7 to 7500 rpm. ran 13.6 with no traction with slicks. when i did get traction with slicks i ran 13.2 and then BROKE MY AXLE ONCE AGAIN... hmm i have lost count. for my car only weighing in at 1655 man it sure breaks axles. I have a welded spider gear setup and it just is not holding up to this STOKE ka24de with 50mm mikunis. I need a stronger rear end. This means i must do a back half or 4 link setup with adjustable coil springs i presume. I hate having teh car down and not being able to attend a event because of a axle. What im gettin at is, does anyone have any sugestions on what route i should go ? ford 8.8 ? gm 8.5 ? 8 1/4 ? i mean i obviously have to get it shortend and custom axels most likely the 4 x 4.5 so i can still run my nissan wheels when i must. its hard to find out and see pics of 1200s that have been through this same process. im planning on runing 26x10x15 on it .. 15 inch rim 10 wide and 26 tall. I have a 2004 ford f-150 v6 heritage lsd rear dsic rear end at my shop from a totaled truck of ours .. but people say that rear end is to big and i can suffer power loss. well just let me know if u guys have any feedback or what not. thanks
