what about a truck 2 speed rear?

Maybe sprint car style quick change?

Somebody was making a ford 9" center section interchangeable with the dana. I think he had a machine shop in CA, made remote oil filter brackets for cobra's, and owned csx3020 at one time. If you switch to a 9", swapping out the rear gears I think would be a lot easier.

Thanks for the comments Anthony but putting a higher numerical ratio like a 4.11 is like poking a hornets nest with a stick. That car will bow the tires off
if you give it any kind of advantage. I run a 3.31 to try and control the high wheel torque. I am thinking a 3.54 might be just enough. The package of the rear end is so tight I don't think you could change gears let alone package a quick change without surgery which is a no no on this car.

This is Scotts first run where he used a little too much throttle on the straits and you can hear it getting really loose. The car would be much faster with a 300 HP small block but what fun is that?

Yep, I like the way you think!
