Re: Daverods 52
If you are maxing your upper ball-joint, and you dont want aftermarket uppers, you can just get a power performance ballpoint made specifically for this. its angled to fix the issue, and its much stronger then stock, or stock replacement.
or you could get cool looking tubular upper arms.. your choice. I like the tubular uppers because they give you more room underhood. im not really a fan of the MMW plate style arms, but they're very popular right now. PP balljoints: Last edited by MrDude_1; 05-02-2011 at 04:39 PM. |

Re: Daverods 52
Price of cool ant cheap $100 each. I think my stock ones were 30 for both. I think I'll just max them out for awhile. I can replace them six times for that price. They'll only be maxed when it's on the ground.

if you're going to max what you have, just keep an eye on the balljoint boot. they like to tear. as far as arms fixing the problem, they use them in circle track along with mini-trucker guys.. so theres literally 100s of companies making them... just make sure they tilt the balljoint angle or you will have the exact same problem. |

Re: Daverods 52
That's why i would go with the MMW arms. It's a $100 for the set and you already have not ball joints.

Re: Daverods 52
Well that makes it worth it then. How much were the arms? If I got the arms I would'nt have to spend 200 on steering u joints and couplers and supports and joints and joints.

Re: Daverods 52
Hey Dave what DOM bag did you go with? What's the OD of your tires? And how much lift are you getting from laying frame? I'm just trying to figure out how much lift I'm going to get with a 2500 bag and 24" OD tire.

Re: Daverods 52
Thanks. Hay Paul my tires are 29" tall. It lifts my cross member 12". It's kinda hard to tell because I don't have my rear axle on. Good news is I got my engine back from the machine shop.

Re: Daverods 52
how much the block work and head work cost if you don't mind me asking?
I like to see what other shops in other areas charge.

Re: Daverods 52
Thanks Dave. I guess 2500's will do fine to lift mine up good.

Re: Daverods 52
Yeah that's not a bad price at all. The lub should be for your lifters and cam since your rebuilding it yourself.
My 350 for the 64 was about $1600 10 years ago, but had major head work and bored 40.

Re: Daverods 52
Lube, lube, lube on assembly. Keep it clean, and torque to specs. Don't over tighten where there is gaskets. Have fun
