Thread: Price- Quick change rear end ?

Tweet

Yup, Winters and Halibrand are fairly much identical on the inside. As mentioned, I would be more concerned about making sure the rear end could handle the power.... Winters may have a tiny edge on strength, at least that is what the current batch of circle burners claim. For highway use, you might also want to consider the big rear cover for the extra oil capacity on the spur gears, should help a bit keeping them cool. If you want to get a tad exotic on it, maybe run a pump and cooler????

We race 360 winged sprint cars and found out tonight that at least......the Winters center section is stronger. An absolutely horrible accident at I-80 speedway. Took out 7 cars. A friend was involved but, damage was light. The rear coupler on the torque tube (attached to the center section) all the bolts were torn out. The shaft, torque tube & rear end was fine, it just broke the coupler ! We had the same thing happened to us last year but,..... the whole housing split in two. Basically, the same situation but we HAD, a Hailbrand. Since then be bought a new Winters. Cost him tonight apx. $30. Us last year,....$3500. What I plan on building, is a street legal, two person, sprint car. As close to our racing sprint as possible. Even using knock off wheels so, I may buy a normal yoke street rod Winters pumpkin , and add sprint axles, tubes and wheels. I've seen several street legal sprint cars that looked pretty bad, hopefully not mine, we'll see. If it can't be very close, it's not worth building. I may sell raffle tickets to the fans at the local track, for rides in the sprint. They now have a two seater I.M.C.A Modified that does the same thing. And maybe also at car shows with my Cobra. 600 HP street legal sprint car that can also handle a track. I've checked our states requirements and so far, it sounds like it's a go with my plans. Hum......what do you think ?
