  1. I'm almost positive the cages are the same on both sides of the axel.  The problem with this set up is both ends float.  Even with a longer axel you will have some type of  problem.  The longer axel will eat thru the stock grease cap and move until it hits something.  Either inboard or out board.  If the axel does not pull the CV apart, it will eat something else on the side that the axel moves toward.  I hope that makes sense. 

     

     

    the End stops on both CV's will cure this.  It's a cheap and easy fix verses having custom axels made. 

     

    Hopes this helps.

  2. I've got a well sorted lt1 swap t56. 99%rust free. Nice CA CAR. yellow paint. Fresh 383. Q 45 rear Very nice interior. Seats are black leather sparco milanos, about 1800 each. Needs shocks rebuilt. Double adjustable bilstiens. 3 sets of 17 inch wheels. 5 grand worth of wheels easy. One set is panasport g8. Too many mods to think of now. I never drive it any more. I'd sell it for 12.

  3. Matt. I'm running 17 x 12 in the rear. Just got the car back together after a flying off at Vir a year ago. I'd love to get down there with you and mike one weekend. I may even take a day or two off for that!

     

    The car may have looked planted in the video but I assure you, it's a hand full. I have been running victor racers because they were cheap. They don't make the rear sizes anymore. I was running a 305 or 315. I'll be going to 18's just for a better selection of rubber.

     

    I'll go thru 2 or 3 sets of rears and the front tires still look pretty good but are heat cycled to death. The car has never pushed. I can steer with the throttle any time any where.

     

    My set up continually moves in the stiffen front soften rear direction. With a new set of rear tires on the car I love it like it is now. I may try a stiffer arb at some point.

     

    I keep looking at those rear wings. I have an idea in mind that would use the stock rear bumper mount as the upright mounts. Hopefully one day it will move from my mind to metal.
