Poly Bushings,
Sure seems very strange to me that Poly suspension bushings failed. I've had them in my '56 for 10 years with no issues, not ever those pesky Squeaks. Not the first Car that I've...

Poly Bushings,

Loos great. I prefer the Oilite Bronze pilot bearings, self lubricating.
Here's an interesting link

Dana 44, of course
NCW,,
YES, that's it
I have that dimension. That's the center of the Pinion.
I need the dimension to the face of the face of the U-joint yoke or flange, going forward..
Thanks though
Anyone have the dimension from the rear axle C/L to the face of the u-joint Yoke ??
--No argument there, check the bell from the crank. The trans will be correct, RPM has an excellent Reputation.
Yes, for me a new T56 that's upgraded and assembled to spec is well worth the...
Rick,,
I'm planning on using a Quick Time RM-8020 for a HTOB, the Photo that Laz posted is a RM-8020-PB . The -PB has the large cut out in the bell and bracket for the use with the manual linkage....

Oh, I thought you were installed a T5. my error
In my '56 210 is a stock WS6 LS1 and T56, ZO6 clutch kit & HTOB. I don't push this car nor do burn outs so the bell is an aluminum OEM bell. It...
I'm also wondering as to why the maker of this adapter decided to use flat head bolts in this application. And If I was in a situation like this then, absolutely I would machine those holes and toss...
When We yanked that T5 out of the Chevy II the bell was not aligned and it destroyed the main shaft bearing in a few hundred miles. I'd have to check, but I'm thinking it was 7 or 8 thou out. But we...
Laz,
Yes, I understand. I'm very close right now. But until We get the frame table set up and AME finishes my frame rails, we're on Project Hold....
I'm only shooting for getting close to the...
Yes, I see this suspension drawing is more than likely for the early C4. Is it correct, no idea but I don't trust this drawing.
Agreed, this measurement seems too high.
Yes, The Z measurement...
Laz,
You are correct, the bearing retainer is the issue that eliminates the GM HTOB. That is why that Chevy II had a leaky / sticky after market HTOB, total junk. We did dig through boxes of parts...
The '57 HT frame has been just sitting again, snow and freezing rain has me stuck at home but the good news is that's were warming up finally. I'm fed up with weeks of below freezing and snow,, rain...
Laz,
Tires, well We'll mount a few and measure the results.
Frame, oh yes will check after welding. But My TIG isn't up to the Pro level. So at that juncture is off to a friends home shop....
IMO, Use the exact length bearing ,no shorter.
I'd also never use a steel insert
Have you tried Tech support at ,, Tremic, Trans-Adapt or Quicktime ??
Same BS issues We had with the 5...
Laz,
Plant tour yes, I can't wait. I love plant tours of factory with automation !! I hope they let me snap a few photos...

I've always been fascinated...
Laz,
Oh yes, I've reviewed all that I could find.
I have a front C4 suspension cross member that Don @ Flat Out Engineering made custom for my '37 Chevy build. I don't need a front clip for...
Well, thanks to all of you for the massive amount of work and effort.
Laz, Hit the Nail exactly on the Head !! He stated it's about "Driving our Tri5's", plain and simple.
I read many of...
Chevynut,
Where do I start ??
HTOB.
I've got three LS powered Cars, two are C-5's that have HOTB's are all the best I've even used, even in the ZO6. The HTOB's leakers that I've actually...
"LCA is 0° but 1° is close. Rack to Knuckle is closer to 4°. What's your CL between the R&P and the LCA?"
LCA @ "0" degrees, I agree , as too what I've read so far.
RE the Rack, 4 degrees...
Custer 55,
Thanks for the sketches.
I'd hazard a guess that your tire radius is about 12.750
Your lower control arm pivot for the front pivot @ 7 1/16 and the rear pivot at 7 5/16, it...
Yes, I'm well aware of the tire radius effect on the lower control arm and I have the Factory diagram to check. It's a bit tricky to
measure under the ball joint and measure it accurately. I'm just...
