This is tubbed out also, if there is interest I could take some pictures of the back end.

Absolutely. We are all pic whores on here, and I especially love seeing vintage torinos that were drag ready. I really want to keep my car as period correct looking as I can, but keep itsafe with modern parts.
BUT Not to get too far off topic though, I do need some advice on my build.
I'll make this as quick as I can. Basically Im shortening my 9" small bearing. I need NEW bearing ends as I have a leaky gouged one. Currie makes a nice 9-plus heavy duty housing that can go for 450 built to your spec. This saves me the cost of getting my shortened, ordering ends and gives me a MUCh stronger housing from this sraight tubes and thicker steel. ALSO it looks like my spring perch will need to be righton the stock axles taper, leaving one side high and one low. The currie housing tubes are straight.
I figured if I went this route I should upgrade to BIG bearing ends, but I learned my fairly new 31 spline moser axles bearing OD is 1.377 and will not accept big bearings....this will leave me to getting new axles as well.
Either way im getting a prebuilt currie 9-plus. Question is should I spring for the big end and put in new big bearing axles. Or will the small end hadle the torque of the 460 at the track. Currie is the one that advised against it.
