Viscous Center Differential

[Silver02]

Anyone know where I can buy one that will hold up to 1,000 rwhp? It's going on a Chevy 1/2 ton with a turbocharged big block.

viscous center differential? like a transfer case? if you're putting a big block in a 1/2 ton 4x4, you need to ditch the 1/2 ton axles, or the big block will do it for you.

What are trying to build, an AWD Chevy truck? You going to rally or hill climb?

i say call strange or currie they build some of the best 4x4/rock crawlin rear ends and they probably can build u a built proof one

I'm going to have new axles put on front and rear for sure

It's going to be a street truck but with AWD and lots of power. . Maybe too much power for the drivetrain. I'll check out strange and currie. Thanks.

Try an Olds Bravada or a Astro Van. The Quadra-Duece that Summit owns is putting out about 700hp. I don't think you are limited by the TC, but I know of Sy/Ty owners that remove the front driveshaft to pick up time in the 1/4.

if i were in such a situation, i'd take the traction over the loss of drivetrain draw.

I feel the same. It's going to be scary fast and being a truck with most of the weight up front, it would be almost impossible to get any traction. With the AWD, it should surprise a few fast motorcycles. My camaro is pretty fast, but I've lost to a few big bore bikes. Just for safety, the truck will need the AWD. I'm planning on running 4 drag radials. If this thing doesn't run at least 140 mph in the 1/4, I'll be shocked.

mini tubs, 4 link, and a diet. you're not the first one to make a truck hookup with all that power, there have been plenty of others who have done it without a front axle, i see no reason why you cant do the same.
