Totally destroyed the rear end, new engine isn't even broke in yet, maybe 250 miles, was leaving a stop light and it snapped inside. Very loud, not a good feeling. Was able to get it home, but as I pulled into the garage it snapped even louder, now I can lift the back end, hold the drive shaft still and spin the wheels, wheels no longer make drive shaft turn, or vice versa, I am on lock down. Little 7 1/4 didn't like my new build. Making all kinds of racket inside when I turn the wheels, clackety thunk. So mad! didn't even push it! never even hit any real rpm. And nowhere near enough money for a new rear end. Not happy, not good.
I totally had run a 7 1/4 in a 73 dart with a beast of a 360 in it, that one was a sure grip unit and I launched that thing hard, ran nitrous, never had a problem, so I thought this new 318 would be fine with a 7 1/4 behind it, this build can't be over 275hp, truthfully. It's just a 270 cam, 9:1 engine. And, I hadn't even launched it hard at all. I'm so mad.
