1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

[Flash68]

Received another NASCAR part today... Somewhat experimental (for me, not the part itself). I have always wanted to try a locker and now I will do so. Who knows, I may really like it. If not, I'll swap in a Tru Trac.

This is a Roush Yates Detroit Locker Cup Car take out.

Nodular case
3.25 big bearing
Daytona pinion support
3.64 gear ratio (the ratio I was looking for)
Gears REM polished
Gears scalloped/lightened
G-Force internal pump
1350 billet yoke

All this for under $1000 shipped to my door. And looks to be in excellent condition.



This 3.64 rear with my T101A trans will put me around 67-70mph top speed in 1st gear and 150-160 mph in 4th, depending on final redline of motor (figuring 7200-7500).

Also, the Fab53 "Chain Saw" tow hook was a little worn and has been blasted and will be cleared before reinstall.



Got a pallet on its way from Jake.... pretty stoked for what's coming.

I think you did good with the buy on this third member.. If locker does not work then you can swap posi unit... I have one of these units on order..

Dave - What are the performance traits of the Locker that could be a negative in your application?

Also, are you pumping out to a cooler? Where are you going to mount it if so?

I was thinking you should just buy a Nextel Cup car

Thanks. I hope so... If not, make a change!

Negative? Since I don't care about the noise a locker makes and almost welcome it, the only potential negative thing I need to experience myself is the deal on corners of a road course. Some say it's a little sketchy and takes adjustments and getting used to. Most autoX guys love it.

I've said this before, but I chose Jake and went with his full recipe (as close as I can) on his AIX 2nd gen. He spent 3 years dialing it in and did very well in AIX with it, also something that is on my goal list for the next 5 years.

I believe I can use the pump still. Def not an expert either.

Not gonna run a cooler to start. Gonna run a line from pump out back to the return fitting on the housing.

The locker or the tow hook?

Nah, that's unoriginal, just as much fun, and a lot cheaper.

You're like me, I like the noises, whines, and vibrations that a Hod Rod makes.
I say.. If ya can't feel It, smell It or hear It, what's the damn point!
