N/A Halfshafts?

Hey guys sorry Im sure theres a thread about this but I dont have time to search through tons of them right now. Im putting in a 302 (i know here come the flames) and Im definantly not using my N/A carrier but I just bought new wheels for my 4 bolt patern, can I keep my halfshafts and replace the N/A carrier with a TII or do I need TII halfshafts? Thanks in advance

You'll need the TII halfshafts with the TII diff because of the flange size difference. The consensus is that NA halfshafts will only take up to about 250 hp consistantly, so if you're aiming for more, you'll need to do this anyway

you can run a T2 or an N/A diff and not change the bolt pattern/hubs.

but you do need to have a set of T2 halfshafts to match up to your T2 diff. because the bigger diff is in a wider carrier and needs shorter halfshafts. plus the T2 halfshafts are beefier anyways.

have fun with the 302!!!!!!!

Thanks guys and Ill try if I get it running right. Ill probably buy another rotory car eventually but I need something I can drive every day and not have to worry about whats going to fail next lol. If you got the patience and money (which I dont currently) they are great cars but its time for some torque :-D. Im aiming for 350bhp hopefully so well see if I can get close to 300 to the ground.

you might want to have 5 lug wheels + hubs if you're putting out that much torque anyways....

Agreed. Plus the bigger brakes.
