RE: green bearing questiuons

Neal,

You probably have an old set of C body axles laying around. 
Have them cut down and re-splined. Way cheaper, and will 
work just fine. You can find 4.5 bolt pattern A body axles 
from 73 & later Dusters. Not very common, but 83/4 rears 
came in 340 & some 360 cars.

Earl

thanks guys, upon further research i have found that the GREENS are
not for this car.
    I am building my'67 Cuda as a corner carver, and not a drag racer,
 i found out the   greens are no good for side loads.  Apparently the
tapered roller bearingsCAN  take the side loads of hard cornering, and
the straight rollers slide around too much and wear out.
    .Mancini has axles for my  a-body 8.75 but they only accept green
bearing so i need to look on.maybe Randys or Moser.
  I am going great guns on this car,  I have bought a really   hot
small block and four speed setup, and am now getting ready to install
the 8.75 with new 4.5 axles.( everybody seems to hate my car because
its a notchback and not the fastback) I just tell them its a Corvair.
  sorry to be yammering about my  off-topic car , but i still have not
forsaken the early 62-65  cars.Read on  in my next post! you'll see
what i mean.
