What is the cheapest way to do 4.56 gears? Everything I see it will cost about 6000 bucks with all the new hardware required.

about all you can do is try to find a set of used or NOS 4.33s and use a 26 tall tire. these cars look like shit on a 26 inch tire though. the wheel opening is 33" diameter for reference

Ya, they make aftermarket center sections but the entire setup is 5-6K

I see where you are coming from, the cost is ridiculous.

That looks sick. Are you going to run a panhard bar?

I'm using a wishbone and anti roll bar as well. this was taken just after getting hung off its own weight

4.10 and a 26" tire is as good as it gets without spending the big bucks. 4.56 would be perfect too, it's a shame we're cursed with this tiny weak rear end.

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics as the build progresses.
