TR6 TR6 V-8 Nice job, but......

Not sure what else he could use as a diff with the IRS...any ideas? He probably had to stick with what ratco offered.

In Canada, in the snow, the wheels will spin so easily that it is almost impossible to break the differential, thus, lets go stock. See, he was thinking.

It turns out I do know that guy. You can Google his car by going to Chris Trace V8 tr6
 
I guess I'd take it easy on the throttle before I'd spend all that change on the Jap rear gear.

I'd probably keep the V-8 stock, too...easier on the rear and cheaper, too.
 
Went to the site mentioned in his ad. Wants $28,500 CND !!!
On another site, talked about how they did a good repair job "after the accident". What is that $25k or so American?
 
It is an extremely nice TR6 V8. He had a small accident last year. I think an old lady hit him or something.He is a front view taken by a friend at the canadian show last week end.

Most seem to use a Ford 9" but I remember reading about one V-8 conversion that used an older Corvette IRS rear end complete with the suspension. It was one with the single leaf spring.
 
Lotsa money, nice job, but the output seems so lame for the investment - 240hp just seems a bit pedestrian for a v8.

Caveat - I was looking at both racing -6s with triple webers and TRED's Deathrace 2000 machine earlier though, so my perception is skewed somewhat...
