Re: My caster mod (with pictures)

Thanks everyone for all these reply's and the great write up. I am starting my 67 drop and want to keep my stock spindles due to a disc conversion and this will be great. Does anyone know what the aliening specs are to be after this mod?

Alignment specs will vary depending on the type of build & parts used. Some guys won't stray from OE specs.

OE called for Zero to POS .5 Camber. I target NEG .5 Camber.

For caster, I request as much as possible w/o impacting my Camber target. These C10's didn't have much Caster to begin with. If you can get 5° that's pretty decent (I was able to yield 6.9/7.4 for reference).

Toe was pretty close to OE. The larger/wider the foot-print, there might be need to adjust to account for the increased contact patch.

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.
