I know! I really can't believe the car didn't sit at an angle. That is a pretty significant difference between driver & passenger side

Big difference on the springs, looks like you will have some stopping power with the front disc set up.

Not sure that a lot was done today but I was able to get in the car, start it and drive it from the post lift to the ramp lift on the other side of the shop. I call that progress. The drive shaft came in yesterday and after a 120 mile round trip to Summit racing for a new crush sleeve and seal we had the new 1350 yokes in and the car back on the ground.

Car should go on the dyno Tuesday when the shops opens again to get dialed in! Unfortunately I don't know that I'll be around to get any photos or video but I am super ready!

Here is the video I thought I lost from a few weeks ago with the first firing of the motor! We just got the motor together enough so that we could hear it roar

And a few photos from today.
New drive shaft next to the old. New 3.5" with 1350 joints all around

All set up again....debated changing gears while we had everything out, but decided it was easiest to stick with the 3.42

Good deal ,youre almost there .

What are you doing with the old driveshaft? Is it a factory shaft for a TH400 68' - 72' Chevelle? If so, will you sell it? I need one for my Monte Carlo. Haven't had much luck finding one locally.
