Brian: Will that center bearing, work with 4-speeds, or just 700r4's? Thanks.
I just finished reading your thread here...
Aside from a little bashing of my personal tastes in the beginning from a few people, I couldn't be happier my car is in VERY capable hands...
I've heard a lot about your work from Seth, and Jerry had nothin but good things to say also, so I look forward to seein this beast finished...
Keep up the good work and progress!
Don't worry about that. I still get it all the time about my wheels! Thanks for selling this car to Jerry. He is very excited about it. In fact I don't think I have seen him this excited about a vehicle! There were a couple little surprises with the rust, but overall it was a very nice, clean and solid foundation.
You should come down to the Thompson, OH event this year. It will be on June 4 - 6 at Thompson Raceway. I am hoping to have the car there. Keep an eye on this thread for updates and whether or not it will be ready in time.
Just ordered the driveshaft from Mountain Driveline. (928-532-8452)
For a 700r4, the front shaft from the seal face on the tranny to the center of the carrier bearing bolts is 21 5/8" and the rear shaft is 38 7/8" with a 9" rear. It also comes with a solid steel carrier bearing. Total came to $260.00 shipped!!!! This is the same shaft I have iin my 62 so I know they hold up.
I called Inland Empire and they wanted $717.00 plus shipping.:eek:
Here is a pic of the center bearing
these center supports look a little cheesy to me, i always wanted to machine up a nice billet aluminum, just havent found the time
Brian, have you used this driveshaft set up for drag racing. I like the price, but am worried it may leave me stranded at the track. I also would want 1350 series joints throughout the shaft along with the heavy carrier bearing. Anyone else use these shafts in a drag application. I would like to hear about it. Good or bad. bang
Just buy Aapco
Brian I have to come down on your next project and hand you tools and learn the art frim a Master.
Lookin great Foose. :
Brian................. you make the whole process look like a walk in the park.......... :takethat:takethat
