Welded differentials.....who is willing to admit that they have done it?
Some call them "Lincoln Locker" based on the Lincoln brand of welding units.
The Roadkill guys have done it several times. One was a 73-76 Dart with a 7 1/4" axle. They welded the side gears to the differential case for some drag racing action. They had a fairly stock 318 or 360 in the car, I don't recall. I do remember that they sprayed a LOT of nitrous through it and got the car into the 11s.
I have several 8 3/4" dropouts, maybe 3 of them are 3.23 open diff. I am thinking of giving it a try. The car is a beater. I haven't even registered it since 2017. I drive it around the backyard here sliding in the dirt like a redneck. It sure is a lot of fun.
There is a 4.10 Sure Grip in it now.
I know that these welded differentials are spooky on wet pavement and tight turns.
I'd like to hear from guys that have done this to their cars.
