Mine has a Stock Car Products Floating Axle 9", pretty stout even with a BBC as the car is pretty light.
In retrospect a SBC or SBF would be way more than I would be needed, easier to work on too
I think their is another VSE owner that has a BBC in their car as well, most are SBC's as I recall.
Never had it on the scales but would be worth while to see what it comes in at. I think the aluminum casting for the front end is pretty heavy, but the rest is pretty light.
Have to clear out a couple projects before I get it on the road. It's 99% done, just need to do a few things, but it's stuffed on my lift as I try to get the Tiger done (never ending project).
