I thing the engineering involved in this project goes beyond saying. This was a complex project, I sometimes get into them once in awhile, and wonder if the time money and effort is worth the finished project. In my case I gave up on Ford torque tube rear axles 30 plus years ago, too many better replacements available today. Right now the Dana/Spicer 44 seems to be getting popular and very reasonable priced at 150-250 with disk brakes. Going to a modern transmission is for the best in preformance and economy, can't see keeping a 70 year old rear end.
