Re: Converse V8 kit questions 200

I'm no expert on these conversions, but from what I've bee told and have seen there may be sufficient differences between LHD and RHD cars to make the Chev a better proposition for Australian circumstances (RHD). We might have slightly different versions of the engines here 'downunder' too (?).

You're right about one piece driveshafts hitting the tunnel - the car I drove did just that. A most disturbing noise!

I think the idea of fitting a Ford 9" has more to do with the strength of the crown wheel and pinion rather than the axles.

Please bear in mind that I'm only reflecting the opinions of the rabid Ford/GM loonies down here and, since most of 'em are quite insane, I'm probably dead wrong :)
