well, a truck's D60 is a full float. I'm using a D60 semi-float for my car. different setup for a different application, but the basic rear end is the same "Dana 60."
In my case, I'm using a semi-float modified SureGrip LSD with 3.91 gears and 35-spline axles with 4.5"x5" bolt patterns so I can use my Cragar rims with the modified suspension, no tubbing, and still get the rear end to perform the way I want it to.

will do.

speaking of drivetrains, how's this for cool?
I have SpikeTV on the TV behind me, and Trucks! is on. Stacey is talking about building a new suspension for a Chevy Blazer and says, "For the new rear end, we went to Drive Train Specialists and had them build us a custom Dana 60 rear end with 4.88 gears <blah blah>" and I thought hey!! I was just standing in the DTS shop on Friday in Ionia, MI talking with their lead engineer/fabricator for about 90 minutes about building my new custom D60 rear end, too.. hahaha
I saw the ones on Trucks! and knew right away exactly what they paid for the rear ends haha I even saw a pair exactly like the ones on the show sitting on their floor, and took a picture of them.

def let us kno if you ever get those wav files. i would def like to hear the car when it is finished. i'd rather hear it in real life but i dont live where u live so that will never happen.

"It's pretty cheap for it's performance.. considering what a car made today would cost with similar specs anyway.."
That's because you're not paying for crunch points and chimes that remind you that you just opened your own car door

when its all together I plan to make a few wav files of it.. just for fun.
probably at idle, revving, and doing a quarter mile run with the N2o

"What's the fun of serving someone their ass if they know it's coming? hehe"

LOL...true that.

That car should sound bada$$ no matter what kind of exhaust anywayz.

decided to forego the bypass valves as with the exhaust I set up, they won't add anything but weight. The system I set up is zero restriction already.. so it's the same as open headers for performance, with less noise.

Ahhh...muffler bypass. I love the way that sounds on a big ol' v8. A few of my buddies have them. Its addicting (to us at least).

Anywayz, sounds like a badass car Kiki. and oh yea, can i drive it

?

audiofreak, all said and done, the whole car project shouldn't run me over about $25k. It's pretty cheap for it's performance.. considering what a car made today would cost with similar specs anyway.. if you could even find a modern car that's 17' long and 6' wide that can pull eleven second quarters and easily hold 5 or 6 people and all their stuff. It's really not such a bad investment.. plus I have the rarity of a car that appreciates in value instead of losing money every year :)
