Hi all, I edited my original post which had a bunch of questions.. In my own saved bookmarks I did some digging in those web pages and found a solution for a GenVI BBC using Vortec SBC serpentine setup. I would expect this has already been covered, but I thought I'd throw this up there in...

Old post, but just so you know, rebuilding the box isn't terrible difficult. The full kit is less than $40 and includes the bearings. the non-bearing kit is probably under $20. https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/saginaw-box-rebuild-how-to.570869/ this is the write up I used for my first one...

Perhaps there is movement, but I doubt they wear near that fast or that track cars replace them regularly, if at all. There is also these to add http://scandc.com/new/node/982 One of my front bushings is shot. I'll probably go the solid route all around and may include the SC&C parts, just in...

Why would one not want to use the solid bushings instead of rubber or poly? that is my plan at least, I think the price is comparable. The solid bushings, assuming no body rust issues, would make the whole body/chassis more rigid...

older part of your thread, but this is such a great look

More pics of the frame reinforcement, if you have them!

Got the car home. we ended up airing up the existing tires. made the job faster. now home, I fitted the adapters and SS wheels. I'm surprised how well the fronts fit.... although it is on the stock suspension. The rears look like the lip will need trimming. No big deal.

Thanks again. (this meant to say Thanks, not thats)

thats for the follow up. which is the open position? the vacuum actuator is pretty dead. and there is no apparent resistance either way w/ the valve. if I do no thing, will it restrict the exhaust flow? from that location of the pic, it *appears* to be in the exhaust stream but maybe not.

do I need to wire it open? or just leave it flapping in the wind? what are the specific function modes?

Frankly I'm not used to the 80's smog motors. More of a late model guy. 1987 Monte SS. stock. I drug this car out of storage after a decade. Looking it over I see this valve is disconnected and the arm is basically rusted. Is this a butterfly valve right in the middle of the exhaust stream...

I know, there is a lot of discussion of what size fits which cars. basically a 17x8 w/ a 255 seems easy. However, my car has been in storage way, way too long. Two of the tires are flat. There is a high probability they will not re-inflate. The storage place is a ways out and I only want to...
