I am building a small car and need to get an 8" Ford rear axle ***embly shortened by about 15". Where is the best place to have this work done? I plan to use the car as a drive anywhere vehicle so durability and reliability are essential. Any help would be appreciated.
I have used Moser Engineering quite a few times. Always with great results. They can narrow the housing and then respline axles to fit. Go here http://www.moserengineering.com/moser/shop-services/ I see you are in California ... Currie Enterprises is in Anaheim . http://currieenterprises2.reachlocal.net/ I have never used them but they do seem to have a good reputation also.
I've used these guys a few times in San Jose area - Rear End Specialties (408) 988-3619 I would have gone to Moser or Currie if they were closer though...
