Got some progress going on. Got the rear end in and assembled. Came out pretty good. Minimal swearing. Had the custom pilot bearing made. Clutch and pressure plate went in pretty smooth. Trans was a little tricky by myself on the floor. My body hates me, I need a hoist.. Need to run the parking...

There is. Didn’t tack them in yet in pictures

Got one spindle welded up. All looks good. Track width will come in about a 1/4 inch have to countersink the ball joint bolts. Just wanted to see what it looks like assembled first.

Hopefully . I’m going to to some R and D with them first. Take them on a drag week and drive them around Michigan. If they survive that then yes.

Spindle parts are in. Waiting on custom pilot bearing then trans will be going in.

No, it’s already longer than the A arm. Better to have a bigger swing. Helps with the arch

Been putting the front suspension on. Hdk kit is very nice. I had stock strut bars in it with the factory rubber so I made a front adjustable arm. Initially I had someone spin up the rear mount and made an arm to the front with rod ends and clevis style mount in the front. After the install I...

Thanks. I’ll keep them coming. I haven’t found a stepped pilot for this application. I’ll be running a 255/60 drag radial with 4:30 gear

Got some good news I guess for the bellhousing. We are going to use it. I’ll have to make a custom pilot bushing that’s a little longer. After measuring everything out the clutch disk will ride right at the very end of the spline of the input shaft. Won’t be running a spacer in between crank and...

Crank on the gen 3 only sticks out .500 from block not like the old school stuff

Ford version. Well that would explain the shortness. Story of my life eh lol. They advertise it as small block/ gen 3 tko/tkx when they really shouldn’t

I know right.. it’s a Ram clutches flywheel. I can fix the pilot. It’s already to two piece design. Remake the brass and make it longer. I have an old flex plate that’s .110 that I’m going to make a spacer out of. It’s half of what I need but it should make the clutch 100% on the spline and not...

Having some issues with the QuickTime bell housing… the advertised depth of this bell is 7.300. This bell is sb/ gen 3 driver side starter.. I referenced quicktimes specific gen3 tko/tkx with passenger side starter and it’s the same 7.300 depth.. All my engagements are on the ragged edge. Pilot...

Yes thanks. 15x4. What hub and rotor where you planning on running

Things kinda escalated on the front suspension. Ended up modeling a 2” drop spindle. Soon we will have a real part. Hemi Denny torsion bar eliminator kit ( nice stuff!) to accompany the spindles
