Re: Tough tracks 2014 events

Cheers Ricko, what my point was that challenge class has been merged with outlaw so all the vehicle mods associated with challenge class wouldnt be allowed back in modified... No good whacking a set of 37s under something with 4 inch lift for example and needing to get to the 1000 pt marker to ...

40s also have a smaller pinion. Best bet is front centre from a 60. Will have had less use and no chance of different flange.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is a lot easier if you have the bellhousing for the 2f. I know someone who swapped between 3f-2f and I'm pretty sure they had to use the bellhousing from the motor they were using.
