Re: Conversion of Banjo Rear Axle to Modern Axles
I stopped using the Banjo rear and stock trans back in the late 50's early 60's and dever went back. Modifying them was too expensive and the auto industry makes nice transmission and rear axles, and the junk yards are full of them. I like using the Spicer 35 rears axles behind the Flathead as it can us ALL the power and is light enough to improve the ride quality in a street application. For more power the spacer 44 comes in with good ratios and posies at a very reasonable cost,/ I like th AOD and T 170 as best if both work. However I used a ford automatic for several years in my International truck for many yearts behind a Merc engine with no problem/However, aesthetics is something you can't live with out,
