Re: JPOR: Incorporate our club??

I thought that the Atlas was based heavily on the D300 case?  I know that they
addressed quite a few of the issues of the D300 with the Atlas, but I thought that
Tera had also addressed the majority of their breaks with the addition of the 2
gears making it a 5 gear install..

I don't know - I'll let you know how the 4 to1 holds up with a Ford 302/T18/4:1
D300/4.27s (107 crawl) and 35x12.5 SSRs..  Hopefully, it will be a long time
before I have anything to report..(I'll probably break a few D44 shafts first
<grin>)
