Tweet

The thing is the datsun 510 is a little sedan and i would like to keep the independent rear suspension but i have looked around and found a subaru rear end that is said to hold 400 hp so im going to look into that but i can not stand ford parts every thing ford i have owned has failed catastrophically so im going to try and avoid it.

No offense or disrespect intended, but you are showing your inexperience or lack of knowledge with your statement about Ford parts as it relates to differentials. The Ford 9" has become the differential of choice for many, many street rods, muscle cars and off-road vehicles pushing power far exceeding what you'll ever get from your little 327. You'll find a wide range of folks here, some partial to the bowtie, some to the blue oval, and some to Mopar and we all get along quite well, generally.

Good luck with your build.
