Just about to fit up a pro street tunnel style transmission to a pre 60 T1 floorpan, and am wondering if the 36hp split case axles are strong enough to handle a bit of abuse or should I be looking for a pair of later (60-66) short axles?

36er axles are bogus,
so are the early 60s ones.
Best are about 66- 67aussie if you want short.

Any way of identifying them from the rest Dave? I may have to wade through a few

They are very thick at the spline end,
and the shaft near the spade is thicker than the earlier ones.
The weak ones are almost parallel
