Beefing Up The Trans Am Bottom End With A New Rear Suspension - Detroit Muscle S1, E6

[@rogerevans3112]

Old School 70-81 Camaro of Firebird, Take the spindles off an Impala Wagon using a corvette rotor so you can use your current wheels and you get a set of larger brakes. Lowering Kit, Take the front rear spring pocket and drill a hole an inch higher, you will need to trim out the top of the hanger to give the spring eye room. This is how it wss done when you couldn't toss a catalog at your car.

I watch every episode with great anticipation with Joe and Tommy. I'm literally 20 minutes from their shop. As long as it's not the Carcass posers, we'll keep watching. And they are posers.

great and useful videos on Trans Am built ,,,,must to be watched by any one planning restomod for his second gen Fbody

[@Petey1378]

The one thing that they don't tell you to do when you add sub frame connectors. Is that you need to add a new whole to replace the tow point that's covered by the frame connectors.

[@Petey1378]

@Adrian O Agreed. But I'm thinking of when it brakes down an it has to be towed. They cover the rear tow points and don't make new ones.

[@davidhimeback9087]

Would have been nice if you would have showed more on the back of the bird for the installing frame tie in...

Went from episode 4 to 6 on the trans am. I looked but I don't see one I missed? Thanks!

After you "tightened" that spring bracket, I saw it move downward about 1/16".

[@workingmanaudio2754]

That exhaust is not ideal. Dual cat were a nice touch, but an true x pipe would have been better that y pipe. I had a 79 TA.

[@johnpotsch7349]

Pypes kit with a x pipe would have been nice

[@dw8840]

Not even a true dual exhaust.

[@otsenres1636]

So they didn't put any parking shoes on the rear from the 4th gen Camaro brake mod? That exhaust system looks so nice!

[@bilbobaggins4710]

Parking brakes are ghey

[@jerryking7502]

I don't understand why you wouldn't go for upgraded rear coils for the year....

I had a 66 impala ss 327. I was planning on building it for a dirt track car.

[@jeanlawson9133]

Honestly I do think that this TA really needs me.....😎

[@Inspirational68]

I enjoy each video you guys put out. I am in the process of upgrading to rear discs and I see from your last video that you mounted the driver's side caliper outboard, which will hit the shock. In this video, I did not see that the shock mounting location has been moved. How did you overcome the issue with the rear calipers hitting the shock, in this case from your video, on the driver's side if I am looking at what was done correctly?

[@neimie2697]

I've got a 65 impala over in middle TN. Been trying to figure out if my 327 is the one that goes to it

is that impala still forsale i would like to by it if i could get intouch with the people who own it please

why didn't you make it a true duel exhaust ??????????

[@NYPATRIOTBX]

@@bigboreracing356 did your crystal ball tell you that ?

[@NYPATRIOTBX]

@@bigboreracing356 who’s everyone? The reason why they went with that set up was to keep it inline with the original exhaust layout, it has nothing to do with sound.

[@otsenres1636]

Probably because of varying exhaust emission laws throughout the country,plus this system has dual cats unlike the original had one cat and was really restrictive.

[@basshead.]

@@NYPATRIOTBX Everyone except you.

[@NYPATRIOTBX]

@@basshead. owned plenty of 3rd gen Camaro’s, never said single exhaust sounded better or worse than a dual exhaust.

Love to see Chuck Hanson from the American Chevelle Enthusiast Society do a show with Joe like from the good ol days.

[@natew8882]

Was your book made in China? First year for the th350 was 1969. You should look at the date code on the back of the block rather than relying on the two-letter code stamped on the pad.

The HR-2 mineral based oil is not compatible with catalytic converters because of the amount of ZDDP in it... Make the CAT’S removable for inspection and fabricate some test pipes or a non-Cat Y pipe. But, OK if it will be a garage queen...

@@bigboreracing356 depend on who builds it and what you pay for. all builds are not equal. if you pay low you get low in trans. you also have to ask question and tell them what you want and what you intend to do with it. 700r4 what never made for 540hp unless you build it. no factory trans will take that power.. here is two differ built ones www.transdepot.net/td700r4st2 www.performabuilt.com/product/level-2-pro-race-700r4/ one is stronger than the other. different builders. pay attention ask questions before you spend your money.
