A good HK subframe in WA would pull $500 easy. - add that into the wrecking equation of HK prem. A1 Bogan.

I don't often brag about this, but 20 plus years ago - I owned and raced a HK Monaro with a Blown 327 small block. The car was putting out in excess of 5

DANA 44 is 4400 ft/lb. DANA 60 at 7000 ft/lb. the bango is rubbish, it is a 8 bolt in a salisbury form, with fine spline axles.
