    Ya that was 2nd. That's pretty easy with a welded diff.

    I was launching where I didnt spin. But it broke in second gear which is where the hop comes in mostly.

    Oh ok im with you thats why I havent lowered mine.

    Also already got some stickys on there but i had to run 1.5" spacer to make them fit. Thats what happens when you buy the wheels with the wrong offset. Drove it around a bit today definately an improvement from the constant spinning it had before.

    Ill make sure i take some good pics for yall once the conversion starts. But I just had dinner with a friend of mine who happens to be a machinist. He seems to think he can make some half shafts that will take the power. So I will let him think on it and see if he can come up with something.

    All the suspension is stock except for poli bushing all the way around.

    Thats a definate possibility and tips on getting rid of wheel hop?

    No I replaced all the u joints before this happened they have maybe 400 miles on them gotta love warranties. Im pretty sure Im done with the independent rear from what I can tell its just too much money to make it hold the power. A solid axle is a lot cheaper and stronger should do everything I need it to do.

    From what I can tell it broke in the middle but we are talking about a second or so could be wrong. I was dumping it at 2k and was getting 2.0 60ft. I have stickys on it now but if it breaks u joints with street tires theres no way it will hold together with stickys. These tires are 275 50 15 so plenty of tread.

    The steering shaft is in the way i used c6 manifolds and had to smash the pipe to make it fit. But i plan on doing a turbo so the steering shaft wont be a problem at that point.

    Im seriously considering doing a 9" or 8.8 with a 4 link and coil overs. I got about 6 passes out of it on street tires 245 60 14. Best was a 13.84 but i had to let off when i hit second because of wheel hop. Then I had to let out again the 1000ft mark because of wheel hop again. So if it hooked up and I could have stayed in it its probably a high 12 to low 13 car. The u joint snapped about half way through 2nd gear.

    i centered mine in the engine bay. I measured from the center of the crank pulley to the frame rail.

    So i started building this car about 4 months ago. Got it on the street roughly a month ago. It is a 5.3 with drive by wire and a mild cam. Trans is a t56. The diff is the stock r200 with welded gears. Decided to go the track yesterday and found out why everyone says go to the z31 axles.

    I welded my own mounts and used 2007 c6 manifolds.

    Hey domzs i was emailing back and forth with you earlier today. All you need is a BFH. lol
  18. mattd428
    I welded my mounts straight to the frame rail on my 5.3 swap. Works fine so far car is weighing in at 2700lbs.
