12’s sounds like a fun ride. Bob your Cougar has the GO to fit the looks. Well done.
Steven

Thanks Steven!

Your engine build is very Impressive! The videos are great! Very impressive the way you reeled in the competition at the drags.

Hey, thanks Chris! Having so much fun it ought to be illegal!

Time to move to 32 spline?

Think you mean 31 spline. Will call Moser in the morning to see what their 28 spline units are rated for. Going to 31 will be a pain as I am unsure I can retrofit my Detroit True Trac with 31 spline side gears. Might have to buy a complete new unit (yikes).

31 spline, 32 spline… Whatever it takes >.>

Bob, In case I haven’t said this before, Thank you for documenting the build of your car. It is one of the best resources for anyone contemplating what can be done. Good job!

I would recommend that you quit playing around with those Tonka Toy axles. A real man would go to these:

58 tooth, 4.8" pitch diameter Caterpillar dump truck axles. Problem solved!

LOL Gary, there 'ya go! And thanks Bill!

So here’s one of my new axles, marked to monitor twisting.

And here’s what I used to mark them (oil-based marker):

Marker worked well. Hope they don’t twist!

FWIW department… I think it is really cool that you are driving the car hard enough to need to check for twisted axles. Seriously big plums required to do that with a car this nice.

What’s the worst that could happen???
