Just read through your thread. Been a long while since I visited. Glad you are keeping the project going and the site active. I've been a member since the late 90's and and happy there are still guys doing this! Buy a new crossmember and move those brake lines.

Took off the rear wheels to mount my new 275/60r15 Mickey Thompsons. I currently have an 8.8 out of an sn95, so my backspacing is 5.75 inches and just clears the 235's on it now. May need to find new wheels to clear my no notch frame.

I have an 8.8 from a 95 stang. It has disc brakes. Stock master and combo valve dont do the job to apply pads. Would like a plastic reservoir master. The delco right hand drive blazer m/c that turna always recommends is unobtanium so looking for other options

Trying to load more pics, they're too large?

So I have a tall deck 8.0L bbc as advertised by gm industrial. Mine was in a generator made by Generac and has some interesting parts. Scat crank, nice rods, speed pro flat tops, 1 piece rear seal. It looks new inside (ran on propane?) My question is about the heads. They look like a "fastburn"...

I'm running one. I bought the frame side relocation boxes and uppers from a guy who was making them here on the forum. I made my own adjustable lowers. I made and welded spring perches on it and bolted it up. I also ordered a strange yoke and used the factory driveshaft. Set the pinion angle at...

Tommy, You got it. The newer drag radials in the back have a much shorter sidewall than the previous tires. Once I get some new front tires it should look about proper. Thanks Guys

Are there any other options out there?

The old one is gone. Fixing it is not an option. I currently have the money to buy one and do not have the time to build one so I'm looking for the best options.

Tommy its like you gazed into your crystal ball and picked my car. You rock! Junior, what is a better option and where can I purchase one?

So. I've owned this car since I was 17 and I'm 30 now. Finally time to replace the headliner. My freinds and I always called the interior of this thing "porno red." TIs much lighter than the maroon of the monte carlo's . Its a 79 malibu classic. The middle line of the cowl tag reads to the best...

Yeah, the way I saw it the height of the power perch from the ground may have changed as I changed wheels and tires to do the swap but the distance between the perches shouldn't have changed. IT must be my wheel/ tire combo thats making look all weird. The car looks like your in the gas hard...

So I swapped in the 8.8 successfully using the swap kit from a member here and I made the new adjustable arms. I ordered brand new NAPA replacement 79 malibu springs and the car sits low in the rear. why is this? Much lower than the old factory 7.5" rear. WIll wagon springs make up the...

It went pretty well. I'll have to get some pictures posted up here. I'm new to suspension tuning and have some issues I'm not sure about but everything works. For a complete build of everything it sure roasts tires like it ought to. I'm not happy with the ride height or the lower control arm...

I finally have the 8.8 under the car. I used Kevin's baseline Suspension swap kit for the uppers and boxes and made my own adj lowers. I've still got to adjust pinion angle and hook the driveshaft up and figure out lines to the disc brakes. This car will be street and strip and I currently...

I just ordered one last week. I will tell you how it goes. I've done lots of searching on this site. Its a great source for information dealing with these cars but the search function sucks..... it does not recognize numbers like "8.8" or "SN-95" when typing in the search which leads to lots of...

I use a hammer for piston installs all the time. The rubber end of the handle but none the less, a hammer..........

Re: sn-95 8.8 what backspacing Also 235/60/15 bfg drag radial. Bueller? Bueller?????

I've got an sn-95 8.8 with disc brakes. I want a 15x8 wheel. I've got stock quarters and no frame mods. What backspacing do you guys recommend? Or where can I better find this information. The search function does not recognize "8.8" which isn't cool. Thanks
