T/A set-up is a no-brainer as the chassis is made for it as well as leafs & a better set-up vs the flipped leafs. The T/A axle housing brackets are available from several sites so they should be easy enough to obtain. Then it would just be adding the TrueTrac when convenient.

T/A set-up also works w/the style of chassis bracing previously linked.

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.
