do you think an s-10 rear end can handle the torq form a 3.9
I don't know for sure, but me and a friend are betting that a S10Blazer rear end will hold up, my 4BT is stock with 105HP and 262Ft-lbs/torque. We're putting a Nv3500 5 speed behind it (supposed to put up with 300 ft-lbs/torque).do you think an s-10 rear end can handle the torq form a 3.9
It depends upon whether you have the 7 5/8" or 8 1/2" rearend. I don't think you'll have a problem with the 8 1/2" in a light vehicle such as an S10. I have experience with the 7 5/8" axles in S10 Trucks, Blazers and 4th generation f-bodies. Most of that experience is bad. In fact, as of this moment, my 1995 Z28 has a blown 7 5/8" axle. I have a Strange 12 bolt 8 7/8" 33 spline axle with Eaton posi that I will begin installing tomorrow. This axle cost $2550 shipped. If I could have easily adapted a GM 8 1/2" axle to my Z28, I would have. I believe it would withstand the 400HP/450torque of my LT1.do you think an s-10 rear end can handle the torq form a 3.9
