  3. http://www.peteandjakes.com/parts/parts_dept/shocks.htm Item #2084 Or.. snowmobile shocks....
  4. I think this one is a much better value... http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/1225428807.html LOL>>> I am shameless>>>LOL
  5. Is the swap open to all or only POC folks? I want to peddle my Dodge... and it would be a perfect place...
  6. Cool. Done... circle milled to 2.800. 5 or 4.5 bolt pattern and 1.5" narrower track. New rear is D44, trac-loc, 3.54 gears. Now... when I pop this motor... it's ready for V8. Old rear had way too much gear. This should make it a bit easier on the flathead. Thanks again for all your help!!
  7. OK.. Thanks Tim. The axle and wheels are lug aligned... so all is good. Need to blow them down to 2.800". I'm at an even 3.0 right now. Good thing I asked... would have been slightly... ummm.. upset. Thanks again Tim.. saved me a ton of work.
  8. ... but i've got a Dana 44 out of a scout that I just cut down... not sure of the center is the same or not... forgot to measure before i left. Ooops
  9. Thanks Tim.. appreciate the effort. Don't want to pop the shaft out of the machine unless I know it's ok.
  10. does anybody know the diameter of the boss on the end of the axle or the size of the hole in the middle of the wheel for a 52 Dodge Wayfarer? Should be the same for all cars. I'm just finishing putting together a different rear axle, but unsure if I need to machine the boss smaller... and my car is an hour and a half away... Thanks in advance... Bob
  11. The big body Impala SS's have a following due to being the jump back into a "new" muscle car era. You got this big brash car, LT1 motor, decent gearing, excellent comfort and road manners matched with fairly decent fuel economy. Plus, it was a step UP from the police package, which raised a lot of eyebrows at the time. The cars modify EXTREMELY easy, it is hard to find one stock. Quite simple to bump it from the stock 260 hp to over 400, and retain the mpg. Plus, they have a good, mean look to them. It's kind of a barbarian with a black tie.
  12. For that car the price is right there, especially considering the low miles. He'll probably get $9500-10,000 for it in reality. People snap them things up, provided it's an original Impala SS and not just a converted Caprice. They're quite the wolf in sheep's clothing... a blast to drive. Grampa's grocery getter with a bad attitude problem.
  13. The one that was one ebay was a suck through unit, not a blow through. It used an industrial exhaust manifold (blows upward) and ford turbo coupe hair dryer set on it. It looked like a nice little setup actually, I got outbid on it. Need a touch of refining, but the idea had potential for a good low-boost unit for a stock CR motor, provided you could get past the lean bog condition you *will* get with that setup. I'vethough about giving it a whirl myself, but my junk is running too good right now to mess with.
  14. The EC444 will not fit, neither will the other. The system seems do be designed for non-fluid drive cars. The rear mounts for the bell housing are right where it all needs to go. I gave up with them, put the stuff in a box, and it's still sitting in my office.. been there a couple years now. The disc parts are fine, but the stalling and stuff, insisting the kit will fit even after hey see the pics was a bit much for me.
