I am going to do the "402" in the Ruby, Still want to do a TT in the Aerobody. That might be years away though need another car to fabricate all of the plumbing, than switch engines with the Aerobody and send if off for tuning.

If you broke the axke at the hub, you probably don't need bigger half-shafts you need a better quality axle.
