Re: Project: Recycle

For this project, I wanted the rear wheels centered in the wells w/the extreme drop. This meant I couldn't use an off the shelf bolt-in style c-section kit. I also didn't want to do the step notch thing as my intent is not to plant the frame rails, but to drive this sucker low (all the time) but have more ground clearance.

This necessitated building my own c-notches. Using measurements from my old 68's CPP notches & ART's new rear Strong Arm kit, I had some plate bent up mimicking PB's front R&P notches (for F/R visual consistency).

Installed, they are approx 1.5" rearward of the OE axle C/L when the housing is bottomed against the frame. I made some boxing plates for these as well since they are pretty deep into the frame. The boxing plates again were welded in square to the rails & the frame rails trimmed where necessary to get proper gaps....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
