If you haven't ordered the car yet you're adding time to the completion date. My experience is it takes 3 to 4 months to have an engine built to your specifications. The kit can take much longer to deliver depending on parts availability and other factory workloads. Yes, you should know what...

Dont forget Stehpans build log. That Murcury Marine LS7 variant is large. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/stephans-slc-build-log.49811/

Howard, Polish the stars with a diamond impregnated rubber polishing tool. You can find them at myraceshop dot com. I'll quote from his site. " It allows you to polish the factory rough surface where the balls ride to avoid material being deposited into the grease that would normally wear...

The way I now see it is there are 2 ways to change bump/roll steer at the rear. Caster and toe link geometry. I get the feeling that the corvette 0 degree caster spec is set as not to confuse how bump/roll steer is achieved. Keep the caster consistent and adjust the toe link as needed. I...

This is a good video to watch. Suspension Geometry - Part 1 (Camber, Toe, Caster, KPI, Scrub Radius) - YouTube There is more than just camber/caster involved. SAI, steering axis inclination (kingpin) and scrub radius is rarely mentioned but very important. Most of these discussions only talk...

Joel. My throttle body is positioned close to the same place you have yours. I plan to run my intake tube out and down just past the first rectangular tube. Then use the space most people have their fuel filters and swirl tank as my air box with filter. Trap door on the bottom to...

Have patience. We live in a covid era where unemployment benefits are flowing. This is affecting the workforce shortages worldwide. Lead times for all materials are extended. It is what it is.

Yes. It would be a great donor powertrain if the weren't so pricey.

Mesa. I like your exhaust coming out the top. Can I copy the layout?

Here is an interesting post on a different forum about changing the front A arm angle to reduce anti dive. Interesting. https://www.ffcars.com/threads/gtm-82-rebuild-w-the-experience-of-a-10-year-old.638748/post-6109378

Howard, I agree with you that setting the rear upright at vertical (at ride height) is correct. I believe it was designed that way. Howard you know all this stuff but just because this is an interesting subject... The SLC rear double A arm suspension toe in is set by adjusting the length of the...

See my post at https://www.gt40s.com/threads/rogers-slc-build-thread.52840/post-538725 I used 4.0" tubing bends. Its a tight fit up there but can be done.

Took a day off and had some fun doing the Oct 3rd autocross in Boise.
