I'm going to try a have have a dana 44 to dana 36 batwing adaptor made local you think steel would stop the distortion of the housing or is the aluminum plate strong enough

c409 here had one forsale.

No one seems to have one would really like your opinion on the steel vs aluminum as far as flex

Why do you need this if you have a D44?

a D44 will more than handle your hp of 500+. Just put in the D44 and, C beam and go.

see4parts sells batwings for like $90 I think.

I'm going for around 750 hp w
hen I do the turbo

Can take it. If you drag race you need something stronger. Myself and many others have that range of power for street it's fine. What trans do you have?

Going to build the 700r most likely a monster ss kit but I'm open to suggestions

I have a 434 with a built up 700r that shift points have been upped, also the trans came from behind a wild 406 drag car. The D44 was too. I am at about 650hp and no issues with the D44. (I also don't have enough stall for my motor 2800 yank) If you trying to plant crazy hp that is another story.

One of the guys here ran stock suspension at over 800hp at the drag strip and pulled wheelies. 50 u joints a season though.

I lose traction before the drive train feels anything with street tires on. I am going blower soon on mine and my weak link is the trans built to 750+ but a 300-500 shot of nitrous would instantly destroy it.

Again my car is a street car, but there are racers using stock D44 stuff.

Just do a D44, cbeam, and spicer u joints and you'll be fine. If you have a stock trans you'll shred it with the 427. If a hard core racer and will grow then get a 4 link or straight axle right away.
