This winter in addition to getting to the final state on the drivetrain its also time to finish all the little things from the initial build - like adding the front sway bar. << Today's task..
Before xmas I changed the front and rear springs to get the ride height up 2" - the oil pan was hitting hard after a bump.
So this (more angle on the tie rod zerks) and getting the drive shaft angle corrected (raised the back of the trans a lot about 2") resulted in the inner tie rods hitting the corner of the oil pan.
So 3 choices:
- redo the engine mounts and raise the engine 1/2" - front clip has to come off to get access... - notch the oil pan (means pulling the engine - @##$%@#). - lowering the drag link by messing with the pitman arm, idler arm and spindles ...
Right now I'm more inclined to raise the engine but are there any front end wizards on here that could accurately predict the effects on bump steer etc. if I messed with the drag link ???
The suspension is 1978 Nova ...
Anyone do any road / roundy roundy racing?
