Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
Tom, now I know that you are after large diameter shims under bucket for your project, why is that? and why aren't you after smaller diameter lash caps?
Sorry for being a noob at this, but as far as I have seen on websites, no one has installed large diameter shims under bucket. Only lash caps exist for that purpose.

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
WEll, small update, I know it has been a while but I have been waiting what semmed a lifetime to get my shims done. Finally got them back, a number of them were cut too thick (which is OK i guess) and I am missing two.
So, I went ahead and polished the couple that I needed to modify further down to their specs and I have the LH head completely done. The RH is done except the 2 shims I am missing and will have to inquire about Monday. The headers for the engine have been tacked up for the most part and will be seam welded this upcomming weekend along with the water manifold. I should also have my collector kits here in time for me to finish the headers and send them out to be ceramic coated. I have the pipes for the exhaust here too. Decided we want to use a dual 2.25"in/3.0"out cat for after the headers to run back to a 3" SS resonator then out to a split back to dual 2.25" to two bullet mufflers. I am having trouble finding the cat so there is a possibility we will be using two individual cats then into a 2-1 collector. I am really spinning my wheels without having all these shims. With only two days a week to get work done on this engine along with many others, any hang up w/ parts is really killing progress  Tom

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
another case of "Bill, trust your intuition and count the shims before shipping them to Tom"
 What thicknesses are missing? I'll call Sean on Monday morning....  -Bill

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
Ah, powdercoated goodness, Nevin's rear bar, and Whiteline lateral links!
(not to mention the upgraded diff bushings!). How much threaded length is left on either end of the center sections of the lateral links? Are you going to box the longitudinal links? -Bill p.s. how much negative camber to you think we can get with the Whiteline pieces and still have a safe amount of thread engagement? p.p.s nice to see that Dan's car is experiencing the same "rust impact" that RacerX did...gotta love that sea air (NOT!)

Is there a Nolethane replacement that can be used? Or would that be consided to hard? Because one of the bushings on my subframe is badly cracked and in need of replacement. ( My SVX project is to be a rd legal track car eventually ) Quote:

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
The subframe bushings are non-serviceable. We had our powdercoated cook the non-coated subframe twice to make sure the bushings would not be damaged by the heat. Once we knew they would hold up we then went and had it coated in antique brass and then again with a clear finish which gives it the UBER gloss you don't really see that well in the pics.

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
Installed
Front subframe, rack, new control arms, new fron koni inserts, new Kmac camber caster plates, New front wheel bearings with all new seals, removed dust covers from front brakes, new pads... I like playing hooky Front end is just about done... Waiting on the new lateral links to show to finish off the rear and one more seal to do the last rear bearing. I can honestly say, the suspension in this car has gotten a lot more attention than I originally expected but it will look and perform exceedingly well which I am very excited about Tom
