eaton HO52 for drag?
I have an Eaton ho52 rear axle under my '69 c20. my question was would it stand up to the stress of drag racing? It has 4.56 gears in it. thanks.
would I need to lock the gears? I'm new to the drag truck thing obviously I shouldn't used an 8 lug axle but its what i got so I'm gonna roll with what I got.

Re: eaton HO52 for drag?
Those rears are known for being very strong. Alot of them got used in Wheelie Standing Machines, like the Jelly Belly Express!!
Hopefully yours is a Posi. If you have 16inch Rims, you can Get 16inch Slicks and Run your 8 lug. Good luck and have fun!

Re: eaton HO52 for drag?
One other thing to note. You can adapt 14bolt discs to that diff. I think you need 14bolt side gears and axles.
If you look around on the off road forums and boards you will find a ton of info!
