    Do you reckon it might have been possible that the diff rolled around under power and the rear uni joint went past its point of articulation? That would have locked the shaft up maybe causing it to twist. If the motor was making serious power and it was going fast enough it might happen.

    I guess. That 253 that street machine built that made 515hp probably wouldn't. A 300hp 308 would for sure though.
