Jesse J Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 I’m so excited for this thing. It sits on the wheels where it sat on the tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 it's been like 16 years now, but I still remember a point while building my 88, getting it on rims, and wondering if I may have screwed up and it'd never get out of the garage once on rubbers. it fit just fine, but it was closer than anticipated.

Jesse J Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sixteen years ago I was born! I’m really close I’m getting so excited. It doesn’t want to start. Gonna clean the plugs after school that was the issue last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 can I get the rear shaft I have extended or do I need to get a full custom rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 it is not advise to have a shaft extended due to the challenge of re-balancing. but you can have your ends lopped off and welded on to a new tube. all depends on what you've got in your area for a driveshaft shop.

Pete M Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 google online driveshaft places like denny's or adam's. they should have instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I can't promise success with your particular axle, but that's how it's done on other swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, Jesse J said: just bang it out or press it out? I wouldn’t do it. Send them back and get the right bushing ends with sleeves. I’ve done it before but it doesn’t turn out right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
