Thought it was kinda a milestone, seeing as the stock motor and trans are running strong. Getting alittle low oil pressure once in a while. Think it might be a spun bearing... planning the buildup after I get engaged to the woman of my dreams!

lol, cool man. But you ain't got no spun bearing.

Dan has my old 10 bolt which I put a 3.42 gear in and a Ratech crush sleeve and I was wondering how long it lived.Originally posted by TraceZKevin... do you let guys run your rearend often?

Kev,
Yeah, still have the rearend. The Ratech spacer took a thorough beating and held up well. The Richmond 3.42's went out last summer and I switched over to 4.10's with the stock crush sleeve. Since I was working at my buddy's performance shop in Wauconda I had easy access to tools and lifts, and parts at cost, so stuck with the 10 bolt for the cheap fix. The suspension is pretty much done for a road car, now just have to build the motor and trans. Then the rear.
I want to try to make Road America this fall for the MFBA event with Speed Seekers. I hope to have the car finished by then.96 T/A - Heavily Modded
