Since I've been looking into ls1 FC's, a lot of talk has been about the streagth of rear ends. So how does a rear end work? What's it consist of? Thanks guys

rear end could also mean the whole rear drivetrain/suspension
guys with V8 powered datsun z's tend to break everything back there. some swap to an r200 differential and CV shafts which are several times stronger then beaf up the suspension some convert to sold read axel some use corvette c4 rear ends. im sure its the same situation for an FC. car was never designed for the size and shape of a powerful v8's powerband, much like the datsun z's -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

They are good up to 400+. They also make a kit for FC's to use a ford rear end. www.rx7club.com Many there have ls1 FC swaps. |
