[QUOTE="halcat, post: 453619, member: 2295"] I am not a bouncer, but I have built rocks with a 489 big chevy, 400 turbo and 203-205. Maybe I should have said build 489 big chevy. Wheel speed has never been a problem. I am not telling you to build a hill killer with rocks( but it can be done) but you take all the advantages, weight down low, drive shafts up, crawl gearing, cheep lockers, strong for rear steer and faire cheep to build. And as you said, this topic has been beat to death, if you build a comparable 14 bolt, there is not much difference in weight. And as turneroffroad said, you might could make a Rockwell weigh less. How many rocks have you seen break a housing. BTW when I say wheel speed, I don't mean 100 MPH either. I think about 60 is all mine will do. But tires going 60 is pretty fast on a trail, I think.
