Been reading forums for awhile and can't find the posts where people were talking about doing rear end swaps to solid axle rear ends. A few people havementioned about Four-Linking a solid axle in, but was curious what other people have done as I'm going to need to swap from the stock IRS/axles to a solid axle for drag racing sometime this winter or next year. Hoping to go the V8 route, either ford or sbc, or possibly big block and get a low 10 sec ride for racing.

I have not done it yet. but plan to over the winter. Im going with an 8.8 narrowed. No 4-link. Im going to weld brackets to accept my stock strut setupif your going with a v8 and automatic setup. A stock welded differential will hold 10'sIts the 9 and 10 sec 5speed cars like mine that kill the rear ends when we launch at 5500-6000 on slicks.
