Nick can give way more input, but from what I can tell. The older fbody ones would work. The truck ones angle out too much. We are gonna need some that tuck in close and exit downward towards the rear.

No, the LS1 won't fit either. That one fit Clay's setup where the engine was back 2" more.

I fabricated the plate. Then bolted it to the factory air box shelf (NAS).

Sorry folks and nick I did originally kick nick off the ledge into the forum world. When someone comes up with a revolution you want to be part of it even if you are on its coats strings.

For those on Crack book, check out 'Les Richmond Automotive' down under in Aus... His LSx powered RaRo's rolling on 35's are real nice work and safe too as they have to pass stringent engineering & safety trials before being signed off for use on highways. His hybrid 9" / LR rear axle looks interesting but I think for similar or less you could build a full custom 9" setup here.

Looks like his hybrid 9' is from Ashcroft.

I wasn't sure, reading post it looks like the diffs come in from the U.S. Either way, I think cheaper to build custom using Ruffstuff housings & junkyard parts 
I believe Ashcroft have ceased production of the Force 9 axles, I know Jim Marsden has swapped his out for Spidertrax as he kept breaking them.

For those of us doing or considering the LS4 in a RRC check out the speedo and tach cluster down about 20 posts on his Facebook Page. I've reached out to them for more information. Will share with Nick to get his thoughts if it proceeds.

I'm not sure this is an accurate account..... Jim was using prototype axles that had known weaknesses. He did not get the parts upgraded, despite being told about the problems.... I'm not sure he completed a race this year with the new car due to mechanical failures including killing the GM engine twice.
