If he wants to put a solid axle in,it is his choice.I feel the same way,i could care less if the car handles or not.I am building mine for drag racing and will be doing a ladder bar/coilover system.I like the XR look,but want to lay down serious numbers at the track.What is the point of having alot...

No gas tank then? Fuel cell I take it.

Actually that's incorrect. The Volvo 240/7x0/9x0 uses a Dana 30, which is the same as the one the Jeep CJ7 uses for it's front diff.

Chris.....bite me.
