Those Mid America pipes are unequal length and not mandrel bent. It's rpetty easy to notch the stock crossmember, just weld a bulge on top and cut the bottom and weld in a new bottom plate. Here's what I built for a friend, an all stainless equal length 2.75" dual system. It uses the stock...

Sure, you can install steeroids and van steel/jim meyers coil overs (with tubular arms) or a vette brakes transverse leaf and make it through the periodic testing so this too will work. They won't know if it's original or not. They won't think I designed and built this myself..how many people do...

I have the a arm setup almost finished, made some slight changes here and there but this is it (I ditched the cantilever setup..way too much work):

the frame isn't tempered, the stock welds are crappy. Frame flexing will break welds. a stiff frame makes the suspension more efficient, that's where the forces should be absorbed, not by a flexing frame.

If it's truely a 1980 calif emissions LG4 305CID then your bin will read 1Z87HAS..........

what reliability issues? It's all about maintainance...even a run down engine with a carb will have reliability issues.

most likely the CTS, bad connection. Replace w/ a weatherpack unit from a TPI if not already done (weatherpack connector & CTS, you can buy it as a kit from Delco)

Thanks, it's home built, all custom stuff (one off crossram manifold one off turbo log manifolds, lotus epsrit turbo Dellorto DHLA45M cabs..the most advanced carburetors ever made according to david vizard...CV products pulleys, 5 stage stock car products dry sump pump w/ barnes adapters, moroso...

Yes it will, same TCC system (TH350C) A 700 & a 3.73 gearing makes for a too small 1st IMO.

Can't you get it to 0 toe at least?? Something must be out of whack, have you checked your stub axles and camber rods? ? What do you mean, cars with a similar suspension..i.e. with a trailing arm suspension? Not like the corvette, a lot of cars use a semi trailing arm suspension. As far as I...

[/COLOR] No, TOE. Caster is of no interest on the rear suspension, caster is the offset of the steering axis (kingpin inclination) with the wheel centerline, just like the casters on a shopping trolley..they trail behind the steering axis, this gives stability. The 2 dogbones allow the...

[/COLOR] SolidWorks 2006 No, just gettiong the best handling possible, attacking the obvious flaws in the stock design. All is concentrated on fixing the toe problem in the rear, customizing camber for the body roll characteristics and fixing bump steer in the front and switching to end take...

The 6 link mentioned on CORVETTEFAQ wasn't a 6 link, it was a toe control setup. It was a bracket bolted to the back of an aluminium diff to supply a mounting platform for a toe control setup like the C4. However, the car still used trailing arms so something is a miss there, you can't use toe...

don't hammer...patience is better. Hopefully you have a die grinder or an electrical grinder, use a small carbide burr to clean up the end of thse stub axles and then work your way around them and they will slide out easily. Hammers are a last resort.

There's no 80-82 6 link. LAtely dragvette has released their 6 link but it's for the pre 80 cars, this is all because of the aluminium batwing/lid. You have to do some serious mods for the 6 link to work on the later diff setup. Are you sure you want to go through all that when in reality the...

Too bad they only re-released the wide body street kit, I've been looking for the race car panels that are much wider (like on the #13 there) and have only been able to find the front clip parts...I pretty much gave up on it but if they ever release those again I will almost certainly cut up my...

zip has birdcage replacement parts. Hard to see from the pics but is it serious rust or surface rust???

both ports are supposed to be capped off, and for a couple of reasons. One of them is the designed coolant flowing route (I could go into detail but it's useless and not of interest) and the other is the most important. The manifold plenum floor heating up. You have an 82 right? The CFI manifold...
