My Gear Vendors Install Thread - '67 Barracuda Notchback 340/416 Stroker
Made some 1/2 aluminum blocks to shim my rearend back a little in order to center the larger tires (295/55/15 Drag Radials) in the wheel opening better. They were pretty tight to the front before. I replaced the stock spring hanger bolts with longer grade 8 bolts. I also flipped the spring hangers upside down to lower the rearend a bit. It was sitting pretty high with the ESPO +1 inch leaf springs. Then I measured for the new shorter driveshaft needed for the Overdrive.
I measured it at 31 1/2 inches from center to center of the u-joints. I'll drop the driveshaft off for shortening on Monday.
Getting close for a test drive! Hoping the driveshaft shop can get to it in short order.
