    Independent Rear Suspension

    That frame sounds like a monster thing to put under an Olds. Rack and Pinion steering was another thing i was looking into which it has. The price is definately a huge factor, considering the IRS is another 9 Gs. But the IRS it has is plenty strong. At least they say. haha But the Jaguar IRS...

    Independent Rear Suspension

    I was wondering if anyone had this idea, to take a IRS out of say...a C3 Corvette and fabricating it to their G-Body. Because I've always had the notion to say screw drag racing the car, take the 350 & T-350 out and put a LS motor in with a T-56 Magnum 6 speed. Add a Corvette IRS and make some...

    Quality Ring and Pinion?

    I just bought a ring and pinion from Allstar Performance off of Summit Racing. I was wondering if anyone has delt with these before and are they reliable and worth paying for? It's not for racing application only street use. It's going on a GM 8.5 10 bolt rear end Posi Trac. It's going to be in...

    GM 8.5 Rear End Questions

    I put it all back together last night. It is very tight and I can't get anything to move by hand. I'm sure it's going to be fine. The spider gears don't have any play in them, it's a tight fit. With the s spring in there. (I'm sure it'll have some movement in 85W gear oil) This is all temporary...

    GM 8.5 Rear End Questions

    If I put all of the original parts back in the factory configuration would it be okay? I don't have a dial indicator. It came with 1/16 inch shims. If I do this it's going to be a super tight fit with NO play in the gears whatsoever. Is that what you want when putting a rear end together? No Play?

    GM 8.5 Rear End Questions

    It's the S-Spring with the Square'd Ear Clutches, Which I can't seem to find anywhere. Now yukon makes some that have round eared clutches. I'm skeptical to wether they would fit or not. But you seem to be a rear end guy, The clutches I have are original and look to be in pretty good shape. The...

    GM 8.5 Rear End Questions

    I have a 8.5-28 spline limited slip differential out of a 1978 Trans Am. I don't really have the money to buy the clutch kit from Yukon but I have all of the original clutches and the friction pattern on them seems pretty much in tact with a few minor worn areas as to be expected. I was...

    Are Pontiac and Olds engine parts interchangable?

    Yeah, I know chevy heads and olds heads look nothing alike. Pontiac and Chevy motors look like that have a lot in common but Olds are a totally different animal. Seems like the only thing any of GM's cars have in common though is the frame rails. I know quite a bit about SBC but I'm trying to...

    Are Pontiac and Olds engine parts interchangable?

    Thanks. I just thought maybe because the cubic inches were the same the parts would be somewhat interchangable.

    I've still got this, I'll probably use it on my other Cutlass whenever I finally git rid of the 700-R4 that's in it. Can you make this fit on a Cutlass? It reads on the Jegs website that it will not work with any Cutlass. I wanted to make sure before I go and waste my time.

    fiberglass hood or steel hood with scoop

    Does anyone make a 2 inch cowl hood for a Cutlass Supreme? I don't need a 4 inch because I don't take the car to the track that often and I like the look of the low profile hood scoop. I can't seem to find any under 3.5 inches on the internet.

    T top Aftermakret?

    Could you use the T-top out of a Monte Carlo to do this conversion? Would it link up right with enough body work?
