you would have to run big block hubs obviously and ugrade your diff to one the caters for the larger shafts but fits the smaller box.

I dont think the block has the threads on for the fixed shaft bracket.

Isn't the point of equal length shafts to reduce torque steer. Surely a few gym sessions should see you strong enough to cope with anything a smallblock can produce lol

I dont see the point of doing the swap on a small block.
Unless its turbo'd and making 200 lb/ft or something lol

Yeah, but what if you have 200bhp & 200+ lb/ft?

yes its a c16se on throttle bodies mated to a boost box running a t25 turbo.wanting to run equal shafts as i dont want to be breaking a shaft and the equal shafts will be better for putting the power down.
