I'm currently getting ready to build my 71 Datsun 510 w/ an SR20, but I really would like to put a Ford 9" rear end on the car. I currently don't have a rule book on me. I was just wondering if the 9" would hinder me from competing? I'm guessing that the SR20 would be fine since it's from the same manufacturer, but the rear end is my question.

Thanks.

 

Pro rwd/Outlaw

 

datsun

i got a 70 datsun thats waiting to be built for daily driving a part time road racing...good luck....i know i will need to holla atcha with some of my ideas.

 

Have you seen the Mckinney Motorsports (down in the SD area) 510 they were building a few years back? It was basically finished. Wonder if their car would be a good platform to start from.

What class are you trying to run in??? maybe that would help answer question a little bit if we knew that.

I think if you are gonna narrow the rear and tub the car out then you might be in in MODIFIED or PRO OUTLAW. if you are going for the new street tire classs that Nopi is putting together,then i think you may be illegal due to the fact that you have to use a stock manufactured rear.I would suggest maybe using a rear from nissan truck.

 

have u considered teh chevy 10 bolt instead? ford 9" has lots of friction compared toe the chevy 10 bolt......

 

wow that is one sick *** 510

 

alot more aftermarket support for the 9", like from STRANGE. 40 spline axles, 35 spline pinion. chromoly yokes the list goes on and on. lots of gearing options

u can always do a hybrid rear end as well!

 

10 bolt...as in the 7.5"...if so..um...LOL at how weak they are

you might have been thinking 12 bolt....since that's the natural upgrade on teh LSx cars from the stock rear...some go to a fabbed 9" too

but, if you really want a diff rear end...and wanna go on a budget, can't beat a ford 8.8.

 

510 = Business!

 

i had a 710 station wagon once...was going to buy my friend's blower motor
out of his 68 camero and put it in there.....but at the last minute he backed out.
so i just wound up putting some hydraulics on it.....dam i wish i had that car back.

harv

 

Why do you feel the need for 9". You will never break a R200 in a 510 IMO.

 

ford 9" will be perfect
