Thank you for the pics. That will be very helpful when it comes time to fabricate mine.
This project was pushed aside all summer. Finally got concrete poured in the garage and while everything was emptied out, the car sat outside all summer while I was busy boating and motocross racing. Now I've actually got 2 Suzuki RM 250 2 strokes for sale if anyone is interested!
I just got back to working in this a couple days ago. I've dusted off the Vette suspension and re-inventoried all my parts. I also had a real heart to heart with myself and realized that the car will never recirrethr appreciation it deserves unless it had a Gen 3 Hemi. I started another thread in the New Hemi Swap section about choosing the correct engine to use, and I am heading to the pick n pull on Saturday to get a truck 5.7 and 545RFE transmission. My girlfriend can't drive a manual and I know she would have fun with the car as well, plus I don't really like the manual options for a Gen 3 Hemi. It's rather $3,000 on a Viper T56, or a non overdrive 833 and I want overdrive.
Last week at the same pick n pull, I had to help my brother get a transmission and K frame for his Honda Accord and while we were there, I snagged the rear differential from a 2006 Ford Explorer. The axle code is 46, so it's an open carrier with 3.73 gears. I will eventually have to swap out the carrier for a limited slip, but I found the 2006+ diff that I wanted with the much beefier mounts.
