Re: Forum Move 2024

The move to the new server is done. There are a couple things I need to tidy up, but if you see anything major, let me know.

Re: Lz9 rotating assembly weights

If you go used, you probably could find a set of Ti rods, on a budget. This one is $1,250:

Forum Move 2024

Every couple years, the website or server colocation company refuses to give me a renewal rate for webhosting RFT that is not excessively over current market rates. They do this on the premise that it is a pain to move and certain companies may not tolerate temporary outages that can occur and will ...

Re: Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap

Thanks! Made another sample, this one was almost spot on, except for the vertical member going to the block was still too long, I forgot to correct it when I made the other changes yesterday. https://i.imgur.com/5N65H4y.jpg Can you tighten up the slots?

Re: Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap

Hi, Are you able to share drawings so we can print them out and do some mock-ups? Also, how are you planning to have these manufactured? Waterjet, steel sheets and welding? Something else? Happy to have a chat offline if it's easier. Thanks. There have been several small revisions, I'm almost ready ...

Re: Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap

Had the same thought which is why we are trying to source an 88 bracket.

I must have gotten my wires crossed about which bolt hole is there and which is moved on the GenIV blocks then.

What else is the bracket attached to? One bolt ain't gonna work.

Re: rear sway bar?

Full disclosure, I've attended a number of vehicle dynamics classes, but never really saw it presented this way, where it makes most sense to me in my mind so this may be completely off the mark. If you think of the anti-roll bar as a spring that only works in one axis of the vehicle... And if you l...

87 GT 2.8 V6 Engine Parts

Does anyone on here need any parts from a stock 2.8?

It's mostly whole at this point. The intake has a vacuum port that snapped in transport. I know people like the later v6 intakes.

Happy to accept best reasonable offers here before offering elsewhere.

He'd agreed in principle to produce a pair of my updated/improved design for multi-pattern hubs to go along with Street Dreams lowering spindles. I ...

Re: Gran Damn

I'm glad you're OK. That looks like it could have been really bad. If you can, I would try to find work that isn't nightshift. And if you're not feeling up to the drive, it sucks but sometimes you just have to book the hotel. I would try to charge that back to your employer or client. I worked wacky...
