I think I have everything on right, it seems like a lot of people post their pictures and get told their arms are upsidedown or on the wrong sides. So hows it look?

 

[Ross]

Your arms look good to me.

 

[Vwsaabvt]

Little bit at a time, waiting on some gaskets and thermostat.

On the front brakes are the old videos still current? I think I'm missing the front brake hardware unless something has changed, I did search for the upright brackets forever until I realised they were now steel brackets and not the old style aluminum ones.

The engine block is looking very nice! Makes me feel ashamed I am not doing such a meticulous job.

You already identified the main change. Other than that, if your hubs have an electrical connector that interfers with the DF parts, your can get a 3D printed hub bearing cap from DF.

The rubber brake line now is longer, and no longer has a steel line on the swing arm. It goes from the brake caliper to the main frame all in one rubber line.

I bought new non abs hubs and stainless lines, guess I'll call df Monday for the hardware.

 

[Vwsaabvt]

Got my ottp control arm bushings all installed today. I hope to get my supercharger painted and bolted on by the end of the week then the engine can come off the stand and have its first meeting with the new transmission and clutch.

What bolt pattern? If it's the standard 5x110 could you share part numbers?

I have the same donor. Here are the Moog wheel bearing parts for the 5x110mm hubs. (The bearings and hub are all one unit)

Those have ABS though, right? I'm looking for non ABS so I don't have to do so much work on the ABS cap, if I'm replacing anyway.

4x100 pattern

rear cobalt bearing # for the goblin fronts
MOOG 512248

front cobalt bearing number for the goblin rears
TIMKEN HA590069

True, I ordered the flat cap from DF.

I did too, but looking for an excuse to replace rusty but functional wheel hubs, ha.

Andrew the control arm bushings look super solid. Got me wishing I would have upgraded. One of the jobs on the list I haven't tackled yet.

 

[Vwsaabvt]

Got my engine and transmission mated, new flywheel, gmpp clutch kit, new f35. I found a hose for the dual pass that works perfect (just have to cut off one inch), its a heater core hose off a police interceptor utility. if anyone is interested I can get a part number later.

Subframe and some other partswill hopefully be ready to pick up from the powdercoaters Friday. Just have to finish the last wiring video and everything can go in

 

[DCMoney]

The gold parts on the black engine look great!

Thanks, I had spray cans made at the paint store that match my wheels. It wasn't much more than buying paint off the shelf, only $7 a can.

I'm interested if it's not too much trouble.
Engine looks fantastic.

Were the bushing difficult to install? Do you need a press or special tools?

I used my snap on balljoint press.

comes in a pair when you buy them, a little expensive just to use one of the hoses. There may be a cheaper alternative, I used it because I had it on a parts car at work, but it does look like it belongs on it.
