I have some new stuff to post! I have gotten alot done in the last 2 weeks, since its finally warm outside and i can work with the shop open. The motor is back in the chassis and assembled. Have the 3200 stall in there and pretty much everything in and most all the wiring done. Need to install the wideband and hook up the fuel guage, put the steering on, and assemble this rearend, and i think it will be ready!
The rear is a 9" G-body housing with 31 spline mosers, lightened spool and 11" disk brakes. All from Quick performance. This was a very good buy in my opinion. $1220 for all of it including shipping. This also included 1/2" wheelstuds, full bearing and install kit. The only things left to get are a carrier and gears, which i got for $90. Plus those brakes are HUGE, should stop considerably better than the stock drums.
For gears i got a set of 3.07s from a winston cup car, for $40. This is exactly what i wanted for a ratio and will really make the car cruise nice, and with the stall i wanted a bit more gear anyway.
A TRZ manual rack and pinion is in the mail, the piping for the downpipe will be in next week (BTW, i got it through work which is a truck shop, 4"90* bneds were $15, and a 4" v-band clamp and flanges was only $16, HA) and if im not working every day i should have this back on the road at the end of the month. maybe not all the way done, but done enough!
pics of it almost ready to go!
