Thread: 8.8 rear end conversion axle measurements

If I were doing it again but with the stock plates, I would cut the flange off. Then once I the car done take it to my muffler shop for the exhaust system I have them...

Align the bottom spindle hole and the bottom caliper hole and the bracket with a through bolt. The other end of the plate bolts directly to the upper spindle hole and extends to the upper caliper hole. Quick sloppy doodle: Black spindle, green caliper, blue plate, red threads.

Ls1tech is the old ls1.com, and the LS7 clutch is good as long as you don't do a lot of racing. It is very inconsistent, even in stock Z's (Look up Ranger on Corvetteforum)

I wouldn't bother with the book for your goals/budget. Just get an LS6 intake, a 224 or 228 cam, valvesprings, ported throttle body and a tune and be done with it. With that simple setup a mail order tune would suffice. Frank

That fastback looks great. Very nice.

We're using factory GM mounts now. Solid, very reliable. Some smart guys put a lot of work into the factory accessories, so it makes sense to take advantage of it. It took us a fair bit of work to keep the Miata pump from tossing belts on a custom bracket. Pain in the butt. The GM pump works just fine with the Miata racks, and it ends up being a better solution overall. If you have an NA, you'll want that extra clearance for your...
