Re: 2wd swap

Rear back half ?
Sure dad I got that to.

Local hot rod shop bent these up for us.
Should lay pinch with a 30 inch rear tire.

Got axles coming with a 4.75 and 5x5 bolt pattern, like the hubs we have.
Should be a roller soon.

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.

Strong maybe, but it's low enough if it gets hit.
All the energy will miss the bumpers.

Re: 2wd swap

I'm beginning to wonder about these bag plates.
Crossmember is 3-1/2
The bag plates are 2-1/4
Or do I even care?

Re: 2wd swap

I like the bottom plate/mount flush w/the tubing if possible. I contemplated re-working my PB lowers but left them alone in the end.
