First off is it worth it? I have a 83' El Camino that is getting a BBC swap. I towed the truck home and then started to think...... would this rear axle be worth it. The rear axle is a 70's 12 bolt. I know that the truck 12 bolt has a smaller pinion then the car, and that all mounts would need to be fabbed since it is currently a leaf sprung rear axle.
I guess where I am going is ... I know most prefer the 9" but they are a pretty penny and this axle is free. I know it will need to be narrowed but what are your thoughts on this? Can it handle the power?
