diff. if you have a hemi, I would say NO. back in the day an Auburn six would stay ahead of Ford V8's and many other cars of the era. Heck, I had a restored 48 Chevy that would not keep up with or stop as well as the 6 cyl sedan.

Rear end could be auburn single speed. The dual ratio i believe was an option.

Just purchased a 1935-36 chassis with 127 inches of wheelbase. This is my first true Auburn part so looking to know the facts from the best, hence why I came here.
1. Is this the standard rear end for a Auburn?
I am guessing , he swapped it in place of the original 2 speed given the vacuum control lines are still on the frame but little info can I find on anything but the 2 speed style. It has tapered shafts and the 5 on 5.5 pattern with the 8 cylinder 3.75 registration for the rims, making it very possible in my eyes. If it is would it be the proper wheel mounted surfaces to wheel mounted surface as the 2 speed?
2. Chassis numbers. It would appear to read F114 but nothing more above or below. Is this all there is?
3. What is the difference in this frame vs a speedster frame?
4. Given my goal here is to use what is here and any modifications or additions to be nothing that can not be undone ( no welding just brackets to existing holes when necessary), where is the best place to get detailed photos of what the missing bits for clutch / brake assembly looked like?
5. I pulled the rims off the car and they were 8 cylinder ones ( 3.75 registration ) and would like to run the Speedster style tires (7.00-16 if I'm not mistaken) . I do know they make a 7.00r16 in a lookalike but how do they look sitting still? do they have that radial bulge at the bottom ? Lots of people sell them but I want something for driving not just a car show and no issues.
Here are some pictures
Thank you for your time.
