Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
Not really sure yet, he is going to bill me when it is ready. I did not get the muffler with it, I was worried about how loud it is. It should ship in two days hen I will know what the price was.

Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
I'm looking forward to see the mounting system Geoff came up with. Looks like you have a great start!

Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
Well here is what I have got done so far. I have built a support and mounted under the floor board where I can weld my tabs to mount the front of my three link. I have also welded shock tabs on a 2x2 piece of steel in place of the factory shock mounts. You can see the shocks I decided to go with but my design will allow me to swap them out easily if they do not perform like I need. I should have the engine cradle from Geoff any day now, I can then position the rear end and finish the fab work on my three link. I purchased chrome moly hiem joints and tubing for the extra strength and will be tig welding those for a better joint.

Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
Looks good so far. The only thing I noticed is that your upper shock mounts are turned 90* from where I usually see them set up on builds.
You may want to gather some opinions on having them that way. I think rotating them so the shock mounting bolts run parallel with your upper mount is the proper way. That way you won't have the rear end swaying from side to side and the shock can rotate in the mount with the rear end as it articulates and travels up and down. But then again, I'm no expert....  |

Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
Got my engine cradle in to day from Vegas Carts, thanks Geoff! I will get everything mounted tonight and take some pics to post. I should be able to get the entire suspension mocked up this week and off to powder coat. Come on clone engines!!!!

Re: Started prepping for my clone swap
Sounds good, the heim should mount to the 3rd or bottom hole on the front bracket.
