Re: Sooooo........how much power can a 7.5 axle take?
a 7.5 axle..
to give u an idea g.m. had to make the gears bigger in the late 80's because the 7.5 could'nt take the tpi 305s wopping 220hp and 325ft lb in the f body..
the 350's got a holden 9 bolt after they gave up try'n to get the 7.6 gear to live..
like anything you can make it live, but you'd be better off finding a 8.5 10 bolt..
if you have the 7.5 now, use it and know it will not take much.. and plan on building a replacement.. c clip isn't really the issue, the axle isn't the weak link..
the gears will die before the axles will. and I'd not spend the money adding house'n ends on a weak 7.5
if you want 12 bolt stong, go find a cheap one,, you might get lucky and find a cheap 12 bolt car rearend.. in your width. but you can find a cheap one.. under every ford made with a v8 . it's called a ford 8.8 a carbon copy of the 12 bolt
good luck
