I have an old willis jeep frame that came with my '27 T Roadster project. The rearend is a narrow Dana 44 with 373 gears and factory posi. Wondering if it will hold up to 400 hp/tq? Your opinions?
 
I'm sure it'll work but the big question is the width. WMS (wheel mounting surface) to WMS. You'll want a good 3" clearance between the tire and the body. Also, mounting factors. Transverse leaf, coilovers? But really, you can make anything work! Pics of your progress, please!
 
Hard to get much of a shock load with a car as light as a T roadster. That said, some guys can tear up a crowbar...............

Thanks guys! Proverbs 3:5 was my fav script for many years.
