Default Re: AOD to flathead

The use of a heavy axle at threar of the car, gives a harsh ride like a pickup. Something like a spicer 35 is light but will handle 300 plus hP, and gives a much better ride. and their cheaper. Most come with the 4 1/2 on five bolt pattern wjich is an improvement over the 51/2 on 5. It's much easier to find these rims in the junk yard and converting to the 16 wide profile tire will also give a better quallity ride. Pretty soon the 15" tire will go the way of the 14" Gota plan ahead to keep our old cars on the road.
