Well i thought i would update this post. I own the car now. Will be turning it into a bad ass daily driver. Got a long list of work planned out for it.
We welded 1/4 aluminum plates on the outside of the case where all the bearing cups are to prevent case deflection under massive amount of torque and RPM
The rods are built to order. And the head gaskets are from SCE Gaskets
The transmission is the HD gearset from Tony, and a quiafe diff. The transmission case has also been welded and braced
