I'd be willing to bet a SF axle is slightly lighter, both in unsprung and rotating mass. AND you have all the brake kits you want that will bolt on.

With that mentality, you might was well go for a 4" driveshaft. But it's only money.

The Bearing you mentioned. Is that the Big Ford Bearing you are referring to?

I've got the Strange Center section and housing, Their 31 splined Axles, Tru-Trac, and it uses the large Ford End Bearings.

From what has been explained to me from Mark Magers, and what I have read since read. This set up is plenty more than enough for a PT car that gets lots of Track time.

That's why I wasn't so keen of the full floater, unless you just want one, and Lord knows I certainly have made similiar decisions from time to time.

Take Care,

Ty

Yes it is. Specifically the tapered style bearing.

I think you will have great success with that rear. From my past and the research I did we ended up with the same thing. Although I had the housing built locally.
