Eddy, you mentioned some rebuild stuff for your rear axle? Don't know if you've thought of this, but the V6 9" pickup rear axle will bolt right in to your four cylinder SWB. A rear drive shaft from a coil sprung SWB might be a direct fit as well. If not, then your original four cylinder rear driveshaft could be shortened.

I know you turbo guys are pretty happy with the 8" rear end, but if you need to freshen it up, why not go with the extra strength of the 9"?

Sounds like a great project, regardless! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
