Re: A arm shaft/bushings install?

I can't answer about the 'correct' way to install the bushings on the shafts since I have no formal GM training.

I can say I install them trying to keep everything as centered as possible & have never had a problem (I've put together front ends on @ least a dozen 64~87 trucks).

Anything more specific you need to know?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I did mine as best as I could and then took it down to the alignment shop and let them do the rest.
