A set of Schoenfeld 195v-3 and a pair of mandrel bends to turn the exhaust under the car and towards the back may fit that front loop and your rules. I think I used 80° bends. They clear the mid mounts ,starter, and oil filter.

In my latemodel to center and level the engine I used a digital level from the lifting plate front and back side to side. then measured from the right frame rail to the center of the crank and the center of the transmission output shaft to the right frame rail. It's easier with 2 people so one can measure up top and one can measure underneath. Pain in the neck but you don't want anything binding.

You can use two ratchet straps to hold up your transmission and they are adjustable? Before you paint I would go over it from front to back and make sure all the welds look good! Just so you can say you looked at it! I hope you feel better soon! Slow and steady wins the race and stops ya from putting something together wrong if you're anything like me😂 squirrel!!!

just a tip to get a nice straight cut on the aluminium with the saw, clamp a straight edge to your material the width of the guard from your line to cut and run along it as a guide. Also bees wax helps as a good cutting compound to help the blade from gumming up. works on the grinder cutting discs as well for cutting aluminium.

Don’t put used junk in that modern updated new late model “cough” I mean street “stock” lmao 😂 yea right. Much as the steering box a very important part of get u quality sweet box.. look into getting DRP LoW drag bearings and seals ue light eight inertia wheel there 19# vs 22 #. Willwood rotors are like 1.5# lighters then other. To but anything that rotatesgeet it as light as u can Use mono ball bearing everywhere u can they have rubber inserts that u can’t tell they are mono ball. And in the front all star sell roller bearing busing don’t cheap out on anything goin in Or on this late model cough I mean street stock
@BrentGleason
@BrentGleason 15 күн бұрын
It is a Sweet Mfg box, I can’t use low drag components like bearings per the rules, the wheels have a weight rule also, and I can’t use monoballs on anything, again, per the rules. I put everything in that I can gain an advantage on, but the rules are VERY strict up here on what we can and can’t do.

Not sure what ratio box you are using like you say rules dictate what can use.. We have no real steering box rule but in my case I began using steering quickeners on my dirt cars and when went back asphalt/concrete our home track is concrete I continued using the steering quickener.... that has helped me miss many wrecks and catching the car in a what would have been a spin out with a slower steering.. I have a 16:1 box and a 2:1 quickened which I think would be better to be a 1.5:1 .. It is like driving a go kart.. Never have to turn the wheel more than 3" from center either way instead of 1/4 to 1/2 turn as before

@@BrentGleason That’s strange. If the polarity is right and the gas is turned up enough the only other things I can think of would be a bad ground or a fan is blowing your shielding gas away. I can hold my torch on the metal for quite a while and as soon as I lift it fires right up. The only other time I’ve had my torch stick is when I forget to grind the mill scale off the workpiece.

The balancers are different the crate is externally balanced your engine is internally balanced.
@BrentGleason
@BrentGleason 29 күн бұрын
As theres no added counterweights to the dampener, I believe balancing on a crate is done with the flywheel, the larger dampener is to simply soak up any extra vibration from the external balancing
