I also agree that is better to see someone make a car their own rather than let it go to the junk yard. So thumbs up there, I guess it's the sterotype that a lot of people who do the slammin and baggin. Everyone knows what I am talking about, some people just don't want to say it. Don't take...
I don't think I would trust hypereutectic pistons..... Too many horror stories when they really started becoming popular. I will stick with my forged speed pros.
I had the same issue with 275's on my malibu. Straight lines weren't a problem but anytime the rearend dropped on either side the inside sidewall would rub the frame. I run 255's for now, plan on putting 10" et streets on it when I get my 12 bolt installed.
??? GU6 is the axle code what are the next three? That will tell you what manufacturer.....Google!
The rear axle ratio, differential type, manufacturer, and build dateinformation is stamped on the right axle tube (as viewed from the front of the car) on the forward side... a real b*tch to...
A high volume oil pump is kind of a bad thing with a stock pan.... It will depend on your rpms but hv pumps tend to suck the pan dry. I have a 7 qt system with a baffled pan with a windage tray and crank scraper on my 406 and I run a tweaked stock pump. I hold about 20 psi hot at idle...
I am planning on buying the Moroso trick rear springs 475200 and the competition engineering 3 way shocks 2720 rears and 2600 fronts. Anyone running a similar setup? I am planning on low 8's possibly a 7 second pass in the 1/8..... If anyone as any pics of their car with the moroso rear...
A 7.5" 10 bolt won't hold up under 12.5" slicks. I think the biggest tire you can get away with on a stock rear wheel wheel is a 27 or 28x10.5 if your car sits high enough. You will probally have to cut or roll the rear fender lip to keep from getting into the sidewall on a 10 inch tire. I am...
Doesn't look like you will have much strength in those rear frame rails. It also seems like a lot of work for limited results. I am pretty sure I can get a 10" et street under the stock wells in my malibu, that should be enough bite for my setup. If you go to cutting the rails I would narrow...
I put the et in my post, I can't remember the mph.... I will have to dig through my receipt box and find the slips from the first time with the new motor. I will have some more current slips this spring after I get some tires and my new rear end. As for mileage.... :roll: I have no clue, it's...
If it came with 4.56's is probally a series 4...? The 4.10s shouldn't be a problem. There should be a code stamped on the axle tube near the housing, that will tell you factory gear ratio etc...
My 406
I have a 406 in my malibu now, one hell of a motor I might add! :lol:
My build list
4 bolt main 400 block (.030" over)
Scat 9000 Crank(wish I would have just bought a forged crank)..$700++!
Eagle 5.7" H-beam rods
Speed Pro Flat-top forged pistons/moly rings
SFI 18.1 Flexplate...
I am currently working on getting a rear similar to yours in my malibu. You can either buy new rear wheels with 5.5" of backspacing...., or have the rear narrowed. I measured mine and got 55.250, same as what CarCraft got when they did the comparison for G-body rears...? I am having my 12...
I am slowly putting together the pieces to put a 12 bolt in my malibu. I am currently running a 700R4 and will be replacing the 7.5 3.73 SS rear with a 12 bolt 3.55 setup this spring. Anyone on here running that setup that could possibly take some "accurate" driveshaft measurements? I can...
Well it was built in October of 68, probally used in a 1969 vehicle, there should be another code on the other side of the axle tube. That will give you more info as to axle ratio etc.. It's better to know flange to flange or drum to drum dimensions rather than tip to tip...? Im going to...
