How much power can I stuff through a cortina axle?
A friend in blighty has just aquired a donor cortina axle and a rover v8 + manual box, he just rang me up wondering if this was a bad idea to use the
rover lump through a cortina axle, and to be honest, I have no idea how much you can poke through a 'tina axle..
Anyway, he's not got a computer and things so I said Id ask here on his behalf.
Is this a BAD idea? is he better off getting a stronger axle to start with, and if so, what has roughly the same track, is in most scrappys and can
take the power?
best regards
de Phil P

Depends on the weight of the car, as the weight increases so the traction increases. On a typical locost with road tyres it would almost certainly be
ok
