69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

To pile on, the C-clip eliminator kits tend to leak and do require irreversable changes to the tube interface. IMO if you aren't running slicks and sidestepping the clutch at 5k I would just buy a set of high quality replacement C-clip axles and call it good.

Yes Tony,

Have already looked at C-clip axles and they won't cut it with tech now days. Car should make near to 500 horse and anyone who knows me knows I enjoy side stepping the clutch at 4K. This car will see the track on occasion and in order to meet tech it's going to need c-clip eliminators or a conversion to 9" ends as it will be running slicks. Either that or if I want to step it up, a complete housing upgrade. (I can already hear the cheers)

I have considered a Moser 9" or maybe run a heavier Dana 60 and might go that route if I need a carrier and/or a new gear set. I'll know more on that next week and that may just be the option I choose so go easy here guys. I do not want a broken axle or torn up quarter panel just for the sake of saving an original set of axle tubes in a car that will never see the light of being a numbers car ever again.

Had a Dana 60 in this 69 I built up in the early 90's. With sure grip mono leaf springs, it was totally awesome! It saw 7200 rpm on a very regular basis and was my daily driver in the summer.

An aftermarket rear is never a bad idea but IMO you don’t need any of that at the power level you’re after. IIRC c clip eliminators are mandated only if you’re breaking into the 10s. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
