    U bolt dimensions

    as the title says I just wanted to verify the U bolt dimensions for a 12 bolt. 3" width x 7" length x 9/16 thread right? I have a belltech flip kit installed and need to know before I drop $80 on u bolts a local shop will fab up. Does the flip kit use a stock U-bolt?

    Someone settle the motor mount debacle

    I got tired of hassling with it and was too pricey, I ended up pulling a set of frame stands and clamshells/cups from a c10 at pick n pull. $30 for the mounts and $60 for a set of poly inserts. Not bad, thanks for chipping in.

    Someone settle the motor mount debacle

    I know there is a difference between truck and car clamshell mounts. Trucks typically have longer mounts to lift the engine out of the cradle a little more than a set of car mounts do.

    Fuel tank

    Thank you for clearing that up i wasn't sure which application suited each sender. There are no emissions requirements where I live and I'm building a hotrod, do you know what I should do for a sender setup?

    Super t10 for $600 a good deal?

    A local guy about 4 hours away has listed a super t10 with the wide ratio 2.42 first gear. I've been looking for a super t10 to swap into my truck but I wanted to ask if the wide ratio super t10 is a good trans to put behind a 383. It seems that some people disregard them completely in their...

    Front suspension; control arms or drop spindle

    Wow, that was the absolute most perfectly detailed answer I was looking for. I will steer clear of the DJM lower control arm and I'll go with a spindle and coil setup. Thank you

    Front suspension; control arms or drop spindle

    Hey all, just about to start building this 86 shortbox now. Had a few questions about lowering the front and maintaining good handling. There are a few options but I have it boiled down to the 3" drop DJM tubular upper and lower control arms with belltech 2" lowering springs , the lower arm has...
