Re: Axle swap????

The shocks were attached differently on the later rear ends vs the early leaf rears. Leafs were 2.5"w on the later years vs. 2.25" for the early but that shouldn't be an issue. Measure the widths between mounting pads. If they're close & you can fab the shock mount to correct the differences, it's a viable swap.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
