Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build

Looking good brother, if you need that welded up or anything just let me know. How much room do you need for the pan? Can you modify the pan to make it work?

Hey Del, Not to sure? How much room do the v8's have when you guys have them in? I was thinking maybe like around 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch?

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build

Well i needed to fab a new carb spacer so that my throttle linkage would be on the driver side. I ended up getting a trans dapt 1" cast aluminum spacer, then drilling and countersinking the holes in the correct position. Then installed the carb and with my new Lokar bracket for my kickdown and throttle cable.

That's a bad ride dude, what carb are you running and where did you get your trans from, I have a 230i6 and want to get a 2004r also could you tell me all the extra linkage you had to get? Sweet project man.

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build

Thanks! A friend of mine built the tranny here in SoCal. The carb is a Holley390 I got from Jegs. All linkage is standard lokar stuff The carb bracket is trick, holds your kickdown, throttle cable and return springs. I got my throttle pedal from speedway motors, $30 bucks! (Tip from Dino) I'll post that when I get home tonight.

Kickdown - 625-KD-2200RHT
Carb bracket - 625-SRK-4000
Throttle cable - 625-TC-1000HT
Speedway throttle pedal 702-9502
