I'm tossing around the idea of either TKO or T56 in my caprice wagon.

I think the T-56 is rated at 450 ft lb torque. the Tko will hold 600.

That would be nice but a little over the top I guess. Just wanted a stout unit that I know will hold some abuse.

Re: New Project truck!!

All I know to say is WOW!!
Very nice everything!!!
You have good taste in rocker arms.....those are the best.
I have never been able to break one.
They better be good too as they are $360 for a small block.

The only thing I kept thinking when I saw both of those rear setups is the word "gussets".
Maybe I have too much time welding up steel for Nuke plants but I do think a few gussets make it look all the more pro.

On my setup we actually with a few added braces. I went thru the plate frame with the crossmember and ran pipe at a angle at the front of them. Should hold great!!
