Well, this week has been going extremely smooth. I had some problems at first with the A-arms but after i got the right ones sent to me from UPR I haven't had a problem.
Me and a friend got the new rearend put in early this week. Took an hour or so.
I decided to go ahead and put the motor and tranny in this week also. Once i got the tranny and motor hooked up to my engine hoist i put them in by myself in a matter of 15-20 min. It scared me how easiy it went and how everything lined up. (see if anybody ketches the one problem i had)
Well here some pics. (I need to turn the flash off the camera, everything comes up the wrong color and dirty looking)
Here's what your looking at:
Front suspension is a upr chromolly k-member kit which include coilovers a-arms and the k-member. I went with 90/10 lakewoods.
Rear suspension is just your ordinary aftermarket upper and lower control arms, And a YPS rear coil over kit. I went with 50/50 lakewoods ther.
The rear end is a 9" that i had Quick Performance make up for me. (saved a lot of money by going with QP having strange make me one and i was able to get it in the stock length) Has a virtually bullet proof center section, which has a detroit locker and 3.25 gears. The axles are moser 35 spline axles.
The motor is my 8.5:1 dart 427w with jegs/kaase heads (247cc intake runners) and my edelbrock EFI supervictor intake. All prepped and ready for my B&G twin pt-67 turbo kit.
The tranny and converter are from PTC. That tranny is a powerglide (gm 2 speed which were made in the 60's and early 70's). It has a J.W. case, bellhousing, flywheel, tailhousing. (Probably the strongest thing on the car)
Now that i have some things installed and out of my way i can finally get around to cleanning that mess i call my garage.
