Wow, thats a little pricey for my blood a carb system will work fine for me  ;D  Personally i like the carb set ups, there simple easy to tune and pretty dang cheap. And i hate messing with computer stuff. I may only be 21 but i grew up on the old school stuff and im pretty partial to it  ;D

Ok, Its been a long while since i have got anything done. Its been kinda on the back burner to work ive been studying to promote to engineer so havent had much time.  But i finally found some time to get the A-arms done and some other little stuff.  It turned out to be a little wider than i wanted because of the wheels and tires i found at a unbelievable price. Ill post some pics later tonight.

Here's the pics, I ended up finishing them today so they are all mocked up ready for gusseting and finish welding. I also mocked up the radiator mount and played with the steering box location.









Just a comparison to how big these 1 1/4 heims are i had no idea when i bought them, the little one is a 3/4"

There from a 91' 4x4 toyota. I had the whole truck sitting in my yard because thats what the rear end is out of so i saw those and robed them, they work perfect. I also stole the steering box off of it to so thats what i will be using instead a a typical steering rack. 

Does anyone know where i can get the knurled part that goes onto the steering box splines? I have the stock pitman ar put dont feel to comfortable welding to cast especially on that important of a part.  :o

 If you made your new part go around the whole outside of the pitman arm, heat it good and hot and weld it well, you should not have a problem. I've seen scary lifted trucks with cut and welded pitman arms (SCARY!!!!) but your could be very strong. Any other comments...I'm open for harassment. If you could get some one to mill you up a piece out of billet...umm, yeah $$$$$.

 Lovin' the car by the way!! Keep the pics coming ;)

That cast pitman is likely cast STEEL if it's cast at all. You SURE it's not a forging? If the parting line is wide(maybe 1/8" or so) and ground down it's forged. If the parting lime is narrow,unground,jagged it's cast. Either way it should be weldable.

I would say it was forged steel. It welded up really nicely  ;D

I ended up just cutting down the old pitman and used the knurled part. I have the new pitman nearly finished. I used 3 1/16 plate for all the main stuff and am going to double up the thickness around the bolt hole. I will post pictures hopefully this weekend. Been at work for 2 days now and still have 1 left so im hoping i can get time this weekend to finish alot of stuff up. I also just recieved all my steering goodies from Dans Performance Parts.  ;D More pictures and progress to come this weekend.

Sorry for the long wait. Life has been crazy these past couple weeks but i finally found time to get some work done. The steering wheel is installed, and i also got my fuel cell in place. I flipped the upper heim on the spindle to gain some extra down travel because it bottomed out before the lower one did. I got another 305 for free, this one is a marine motor so it hardly has any time on it and is the one i will be rebuilding. Hopefully i will get my shock tabs this week and be able to get the front end rolling. Here's some pictures.

MMM, Dimple dies   ;D
