I looked in the old post but could'nt find a list of rearend donors for a +4 frame..anyone know of one? Irs,live axle what ever.....

Thanks Fletch,

Fletch,

I guess you probably want someone from your side to answer this, but over here it tends to be Sierra (IRS) or Cortina (Live). I'm sure Volvosport might recommend something from Sweden, and 'scuse me while I throw up for suggesting it, maybe BMW/Mercedes.

Check some of the RWD Volvos -- the Volvo 140 front end has been used by some builders also.

yessum , volvo 740 , pretty wide , electronic speedo - that works directly with a VDO speedometer .

3.54:1 with a manual
3.89:1 auto

the lugs which centre the axle bushes on the volvo are very nearly correct for using as jigs for the locost suspension - ie theres 4 12mm little sticky uppy things , that could be used for centring and measuring from .

Did i mention its a dana 30 diff which resides in every jeep since mankind was born ? and also LSD are therefore cheap altho most LSD available are for the front , so cant handle so much torque , but , im pretty sure youll be fine if that your chosen route .

the 240 axle tubes are slightly narrower , but have 4 links and a panhard rod which probably could be better utilised in a build - the 740 links are towards the centre of the diff .

Well, I have been told a 2nd generation RX7 irs will work, plus it comes with disc's in the rear.

The only problem though is that most have 4.10 gears so 1st will be a very quick gear!
