What to do?

i don't like mixing parts either and if your a purist, my ford
suggestion borders on treason.
how ever if winning and not breaking is important, i'd still
consider it.
it's a tried and proven system.
besides that you'd never notice the rear axle with the
front wheels in the air!

That's what I'm looking for! Non-breakable rear end and the front wheels a foot in the air! ;-)

I was at a swap meet today, I saw a 9" for sale, with spool, gears, aftermarket axles, but it was already narrowed and was too short for my car.

I'll keep looking.

i don't know about the cowl induction, but you got to love
a hole in the hood with a blower sticking out. :thumblef:

I won't do cowl induction on my Duster... I like my six pack scoop!

I don't have a blower sticking out of my hood, but I've got a cool blower style air cleaner, looks kinda the same:
