I want to do a Dana60 in my '67 project, but probably way down the line after it is on the road. I am fine with high strength shafts and c-clip eliminators till then. If you do break one, then is the time to build something stronger. That may never happen. Part of running the 1/4 mile is breaking stuff as you get faster.

Yeah, I always manage to find the next weak link, but never do it at a good place or time. I also figure, that out of the current vehicles I own, I have the best chance of keeping the truck in a straight line and in one piece with the power the engine will be making.
