Default Best Idea for a ridged differential!

The gold anodized parts are Moroso solid SBC motor mounts, bar from speedway motors. This will stop lots of problems like wheel hop. When I went from a racing 700R4 with 4.11 rear end and 427 SBC to a TKO 600 I had sever wheel hop in the first two gears. 500# custom steel spring and QA1 Dual adjust rear shocks. I first installed the solid diff cross member kit which helped some. I went to a modded diff mount with a solid aluminum disk snubber to give my diff an up angle for the driveline angle.

the aluminum piece under the fiber mono spring is a heat shield idea. Oh, this is a fellow forum members car. I have dual 3 inch exhausts

Gkull, looks like you're just bolting the front of the diff to the back of the diff unless I'm not seeing something correctly, I'm wondering how will that help? The similar bars I've seen before mount one end to the chassis in front of the diff.

Just a question not a critique , why not go with a 4 link rear ?

That's not mine, but he used the snubbed bolt hole and going forward with with the motor mount is ridged against the frame cross member so that the diff can't rock up. Later on it got welded
