Is it just me or does ^ that scare the hell out of anyone else?

 

[sweetk30]

for what ? i will add a plate to stiffin it up a but. and its only about 1/2 inch removed. it tapers in there anyway. just needed a bit of a trim. i asked others about them fitting from the 88-up style thay all say trim it a little and its been working fine for them sofar.

might not hurt to clean up the cut with a die grinder or something. All those jagged edges will lead to stress risers and make it crack easier than if it were smooth.

Will the O2 sensor fit ?

Will the O2 sensor fit ?

not there....

well got the edelbrock 88-up headers on the motor today and notched about 1/3" off the frame lip to clear the o2 bung thats pluged off and not able to be used in this location. will be installing 1 in the ypipe area and use a heated o2.

Keep kickin' it Brett. I know sometime along the way, I'll hit a wall on my build. Just need to back off a few days, and ram forward again.

Do you have comp insurance on your rig?

 

[udy2554]

Glad someone helped you out Brett. Good to hear from you again!! Keep it up!

 

[sweetk30]

well i got rid of my detroit locker for the 14ff and the power lock for the dana 60.

just didnt think i wanted them and figured i hade a few extra bucks with the sales of them and few bucks saved from paychecks.

so i went and got 1 of these for each axle.


i think thay will work just fine.

 

[Teck]

Good to see you back at it after what happened to you.

 

[GsxrMike]

Great to see the thread back up and going!

Progress soon?
