Alright guys. About to jump feet first back into the build again after a long break.
I picked up a 3.9L cummins 4BT diesel I'll be using. Question is which rear end should I use?
The chassis currently has the stock 68 Chevy c10 axle which is a 12 bolt. I do have a donor axle from another project which is from a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd truck which is a Crysler 9.25".
Which of these would be better suited for the cummins?
Cummins numbers are as follows
Stock HP-105
Stock TQ-265
I would like to juice up the cummins a bit to at least 300hp and presumable around 500 ft/lbs, but this is just a best guess.
I'm looking for the axle that would be easiest to rebuild, and/or has a strong aftermarket for gearing and other parts.
I know I can get a LSD type setup for the Crysler, think it's called Tru Lock or something like that. Not sure if that option (LSD/Posi/whatever) is available for the Chevy.
Don't sweat the rear end widths as I'll be widening the bed to clear whatever goes under it.
