yea.. i know its old.. but its teh same concept..

 

[lildj2483]

i know all about civette. i found the writeup for it and pics of the build.... actually what im doing is different. im not using the whole mustang setup.

 

[lildj2483]

its not the best but it gives you an idea. this is the last pic of the day. i will take some pics tomorrow using a digital camera.

 

[lildj2483]

lookin at the pics it looks higher. i know its riding lower then it usually did

 

[khrys771]

where is the pan in the pic? thats from the side isnt it?

i was looking for one from the front

 

[lildj2483]

well i have the moor tied into place. look where that ground batter wire is how it curves to the right. i think thats the oil pan right there. but it sits higher when its not tied there when its rightfully in place.

 

[lildj2483]

thats actually from the front driverside area. my car right now is above alot of sand and thats the only spot i could get without getting full of sand. it only has a sump in the back. and its not to big.

 

[INJEN78]

theres plenty of ground clearance..

 

[lildj2483]

yea. plus the tires are flat in the front. so it should be fine. im having one hell of a bad day. first a front tire blew out on our tow truck then our holley electric pump fails and almost catches on fire. well im off to a casino to try and make some money haha.

Hope you don't have my luck. I'll never set food in one of those places. I do well enough losing money with out actually gambling it.

 

[lildj2483]

well i dont play money. just the free play they give me. well i walked in with 15 dollars in free play and walked out with 22dollars cash,lol

 

[khrys771]

do you have the rear end already done yet?

 

[lildj2483]

yea the rear axle has been done and in there. all i have left to do is go from the 3.08 gears to the 3.27 gears then put the cover and then gear oil in it. im getting some honda and ford aluminum motor parts tore down for the aluminum to scrap. so this way i can see about getting some tubing right now so i can start anyways.

 

[khrys771]

would you mind getting pics of the rear and its mounting set up, D? also what car is your rear axle from?

 

[lildj2483]

i will tomorrow morning. the rearend is out of a 1994 mazda b4000 its the 8.8

 

[khrys771]

is that one of the narrowest rear ends you found?

 

[lildj2483]

no. i just had this rearend in my shed. and figured i would measure it and see if it fit. and i didnt believe my measurement. so i put it right behind the wheels and was like wow couldnt ask for a better fit then that
a ranger or mazda pickup would work really good. under the back of a civic rearwheel drive. i have so many parts haha. i have a shed fullof pars and then a canapy full of parts and my offroad hi performance gocart haha. but i just got lucky about it fitting perfect. well i was hopeing to take some pics tomorrow. but i wont be able to. but as soon as i can i will.
have anymore questions. if so feel free to ask.

 

[lildj2483]

well this is how its going to be. im going to get it running with a small block until i can get all of the right gt parts to make sure i can get that done right. and then im going to build a prelude with the 4.6. i have until the end of next week. if its not running by then. then im either going to sell it or scrap it. so im going to be pretty busy working on it. will give updates about what i have done.

 

[khrys771]

if you scrap it i will haunt you.
