I finally made some progress today! I a doing a complete 5-lug suspension swap. I took it off a burned six conversion a while back. It's been waiting for the right car. Now that I have it I am putting it all in. My v8 conversion is a 70 & the clutch was slipping badly. So I am doing a side shift swap also. My front end seems to be sitting really high though. Doesn't seem to want to go lower. Not sure if the sway bar is set incorrectly & that is keeping it where it is or not. Didn't spend much more time on it. I'll check it out more on monday. Any tips on something I may have forgotten up front is appreciated.
I've replaced all the bushings in the linkage. I also installed the shifter & connecting rod to the firewall. That firewall bushing took a little effort to get in. Managed to do it without breaking anything though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I removed the old tailshifter/adapter plate & exhaust. Which is going to do it for today! Tommorow is family day so come monday I am back at it. I do need my flywheel turned so I may be limited on monday. I can still get my 5lug setup on their trailing arms installed. I was hoping to take it for a spin monday but it doesn't look like that is going to work out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s) |
