Re: 66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap
Moving along with the rear end rebuild. Made myself a drift out of some parts that were laying around, knocked out the old axle bearings and replaced them.
Installed a rear disk brake kit from CPP. Everything fit pretty well except the brake pads on one side. They are too thick to fit over the rotor, will have to machine off a bit of the pad to fit.
New pinion gear installed, had to fab up a tool to hold the yoke so i could torque the nut.
Got the new posi carrier and 3:73 gears installed and set the back lash
Got the driveline angles sorted out. Needed to raise the trans up an inch and a half to match the pinion angle at 5 degrees. Had a new one piece drive shaft built, had to modify the cross member to provide clearance. Still have to finish welding it up
Waiting on a radiator that I ordered months ago from RnD. Took 6 weeks to ship, and now UPS has lost it.
