Re: drop spindle HELP!!

Sorry I don't know. Have you tried contacting the seller and asking for the numbers on the spindle, then you could double check on the web?

Re: drop spindle HELP!!

1/2 ton & 3/4 ton spindles are different for 73-87's. That add states "for 1500-2500 series". I would contact them for a p/n & google the p/n for additional info.

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.

Re: drop spindle HELP!!

Measure your rotor. If it is 1.25" thick, yes they fit.

Re: drop spindle HELP!!

Aren't we talking C20 8-lug drop spindles?

I would stick with Belltech or Western Chassis (which CPP sells), McGaughys, or DJM.
Look at Summit Racing's brand, also.
I would buy from a reputable company.

Yes we are, and NO those will not fit your C-20. The ad should not include the 2500 part, as it is misleading.

Re: drop spindle HELP!!

Or you could buy the 3" and cut half a coil. I'm not sure what size tire you plan to run, but a full coil might work...

Seems pretty legit. The about us is a little sketchy but it could just be because they seem to have just started the site.

Re: drop spindle HELP!!

Dont ask us.... ask them. Call & confirm they have exactly what you need. If so, then yes that's a great price. The ad indicates C20-C35 3" drop spindles. Confirm the info & manufacturer of the spindles.
