Looking at your pictures, it DOES look like they may have cut to much off the end....if that's the case, green bearings would still be ok.. I would STILL run that thing and not think twice.
Anyone know if green bearings go into the housing tubes normally or not. I would assume they aren't much longer than a tapered bearing, so I would think not. Anyone want to measure a standard housing end length for me? Just trying to clear some things up so I go into this with some knowledge over the next couple of days. Whitepunkonnitro is sending me reasonably priced housing ends in case I need them, and aaadave has kindly offered an early b-body rear if it helps. One way or the other this is getting taken care of.
aaadave, anyone you would recommend to do the jig work/welding/pressing I am going to be looking at doing? I called savage performance just down the road from me, and they work mostly on 9" fords, but it seems like they could do the work.
