Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I managed to get the suspension sitting how I want it and not super high in the rear. Now I have to get the rear axle as close to centered in the wheel tubs as I can.
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/IMG_0073.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/IMG_0074.jpg I managed to get the steering block on and the drag link hooked up. I have to get a reamer so I can get the chevy rod end in farther to the dodge steering arm. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/IMG_0075.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/IMG_0076.jpg I have to get new tie rods because Napa decided to give me the wrong ones. |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Looking good keep at it.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Sweet
and that reminded me i need to mail that block for our crewcab. its still sitting in my garage.... what did you do to change the rear suspension height? i think mine is going to be high in the rear. i prefer it to be a bit higher, but without the fuel tank batteries and a bed i'm not sure yet if ill have to adjust it or not.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I just remembered some thing else. I saw on another thread where some one was saying the studs on the D60's like to break off? I can't imagine that unless you get in a wreck or severly shock load the front tires. The same guy mentioned going to crossover steering, which isn't a bad idea. But you still use the same area to mount a tie rod to, so what's the diff? :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Are you going to have full steering to the left like that? I was looking at a square body the other day with a dodge arm and it looked like it was going to need two of the short tie rod ends for it to work right, and also the hole reamed out from the top.

Ryannn!
When are you gonna start on your hood latch?! I've moved away from mine so you could master it and I could copy ;D I'm gonna make my loop drop down lower tonight where my drive shaft runs through and the original carrier bearing is so I can run a single. BUT! Good work as always! I'm loving it! |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I like your turbo setup but I can't quite see how you have mounted them to the exhaust manifold. Could you take a couple better pics of how you set the turbos up or explain it better? Thanks

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
moah a diesel in a vette isnt too bad as long as it goes like stink
the corvette isnt the bvest base for a quarter mile racecar though from wat i understood there getting a bit squirely and having tractionproblems a camaro or chevelle might be a better idea |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Goes fast: check
Tons of fun: check Not a stuck up "vette guy": check Makes said "vette guy" mad: check After reviewing my above criteria, the Corvette is bad ass. What's the cooler between the radiator and intercooler? Oil cooler? If you give me a month I'll have an extra Chevy D60 steering arm if you want to swap to it. Shipping and it's yours. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Today I installed my vent shades, trimmed my gauge pod to set on the dash, and installed the last 2 window wiper seals for the LH door. I also started installing the new door seals. They irritated me and I went to a junk yard and got some to try out later.
