| 7.16 | spools in a street machine? | BSS::BOREN | | Fri Jan 24 1997 10:06 | 17 |

spools on the street...........
I'm building (well it's almost completed) a street machine to use
for the occasional trip around town and will act as a weekend warrior
at the strip (foot brake class). Over time I've ended up with a
Strange spool (lost two posi units) with Mosher axles.
I'm currently babying this thing on corners (tire skip)but wondered if
anyone has ran a spool for any length of time on the street and how
well it'll hold up to the cornering problems? I know a posi would be
better for the street, but the spool holds up better at the track :^)
I've already blown two posi units.

Yes...in my Willys Americar. I ran out of money after putting in the
455 buick and spending a small fortune getting it to cool. I welded the
spider gears in the differential for added traction but you could not
drive it an even damp roads. Getting around corners was pure hell.
I finally got put on to someone who sold me a ford 9" rear. that fixed
the drivability problems.

| 7.18 | Probably had junk units | VMSNET::M_MACIOLEK | Four54 Camaro/Only way to fly | Fri Jan 24 1997 15:44 | 17 |
| Maybe yer using the wrong parts. A 12 bolt posi is pretty strong,
but it's heavier than a ford 9 inch. a 12 bolt is also more
expensive to build than a ford.
A posi unit you may want to look into is the Moroso Brute strength
deal. That'll give you posi, and (hopefully) longevity.
The fact that you lost 2 posi units wouldn't freak me out. A 10 bolt
will back up nearly 500 hp, a 12 bolt even more. A worn out 10 bolt
replaced with another worn out 10 bolt from the junk yard wouldn't
solve the problem.
The other thing is what specifically broke, and why? (overheating?)
try and hook up a cooler, do everything you can do to keep the unit
cool, and reduce friction (synthetic fluid?)

re: Spools.... thanks for the info
I knew it'd be tricky...but back at the time..I thought about going
pure strip...and well - I changed my mind so the spool is a bit radical
for the street. Seems like my best bet is going back to a posi :^}

| I'd think of the idea of safety too. Your car goes like hell in a
straight line, but just don't try and turn. Out on the street you
have all sorts of yahoos and morons you have to dodge. I KNOW this will
never happen, but if some moron borrows or steals your car, or you sell
it... the first time they try and go around a corner, they'll have
problems.
