Lincoln Locker
Hi all. My brother put a p.o.s. rx2 into the 11's with a bridgeported 12a, and we are currently grinding housings for a full-on bridgeport 13b for my rotor truck. It will be street driven. I need to know how the rear axle retains its axles, as I want to lincoln lock the rearend. (yes, it is on of the rare 4.6 rearends in the 74 trucks, yeas, I'll switch to a ford 9 inch and 6.16 gears if I break this one).
So, does the rear axle retain it's axles; at the flange, or at the diff? Oh, btw-I'm an ex-Dodge automatic transmission professional wrench, so I have a bunch of paper on the wall that says I know what the hell I'm doing. I am lazy.
I have built a hoard of Dana 90's/80's/60's/44's and am very familiar with reading paint on the gears and 'backlash' and 'sideplay'. I can listen to a 8.75 rearend and predict the engagement patern by its howl, but Iv'e never had a ford 9 inch style rearend apart on my bench.
Help a brother out.

I might want to do the same on mine someday.
Anyone know how to do it?

Retained at the flange/bearing...
...how to do it I haven't a clue. How not to do it: swap 'pumpkins' without checking/adjusting end-play... this equals gearoil/metal slurry in a trash rearend... "The voice of experience"... I do have the end-play spec. somewhere, if you need me to look it up...
