    Drive Train Question

    So I also have this question in an email to Dan Ruth but I figured I would post it here as well.

    I have found a 4 link rear end out of a 94 Cobra not too far from me. Since it is wider than the older rear ends should I expect any issues with using it on the hot rod? I already have Dan's adjustable control arms on order so I don't think that part should be an issue.


    Just need to know if it is going to cause any extra work or issues.

    Nope. It'll work fine.

    You can either run it as is, and run less deep wheels, or you can swap to fox length axles (the housing is actually same width as fox), and move the brakes in with north race cars brackets or cut and move and weld the brackets yourself, and run deeper dish wheels.

    Awesome... I don't think it will be a problem since I am going with some wide tires in back and will have to manage the back spacing any way.
