Back in the day..... My first Corvette was a 62 ex-drag car. Since it was my only car (I was 19), I made it only as street legal as it had to be.
The end result was a street racer running 4.88 gears. 4 mpg was the best it would do. I had to fill the tank every day, but with gas at .40 @ gal, it was somewhat affordable....

I has the same thing going on with my car. I was told it was a old drag car. I have 488 gears. I drive it around anyways. not as fun as you would think. can you just replace the center section (complete 3rd member) with a passenger car unit or are the axle splines different?
