New KEP LS series engine to an inverted Porsche G50-52 adapter plate, fly wheel, hardware and a used 4 puck disk. It is for a G50-52 if that makes a difference, but I can take measurements for anything you want to see if it fits any other G50's. This is left over from a project that never got to...

Enjoyed reading the post so far. Looking forward to following it.

Outstanding job. I really like the effort of "Do it yourself". Your doing a great job and really hope to see the progress so keep us posted. Mine has fell to the back burner as I bought a new house and had to move my machine shop so things have been to hecktic. But now with a 5 car garage...

Recieved the 300M axle's from B&J eng. They are real nice. This is the end for the C5 corvette spindles. It uses a Hog ring rather than a snap ring. The hog ring expands in the spider and holds the axle in place, I had them put on the factory boot grooves so the stock boots will work. They are...

Tom, Yes the motor and trans is solid mounted. There are some who say not to solid mount the motor but I see many who do. There is someone who makes a linkage mount that is attached to the trans itself and the rotation cable comes in and connects directly to the tail shaft at 90 degrees. I...

While waiting for the Axels to come I have made the shift linkage. Some very nice milspec control cables and 7075 aluminum parts that I made up seem to work great. Get the axels in next week and I think it time for a test drive. I have interviewed two guys here in socal that are capable of doing...

Just took everything apart and blasted the chassis and painted it. Right now in the reassembly stage but will post the first drive with out the body when I get it all back together.

Doug, I think for my application there were two concerns with off the shelf axle's. Those are 4140 chromoly and I really felt I needed 300M material. The other is I wanted the C5 boot to fit correctly and it has different diameters on both ends than the standard 930 boot. This way I dont...

The outboard spline is going to be about .002" larger pitch diameter since that is what the factory did and is a snug fit and has no endplay in the axle. All the movement is on the inner 930 CV. Then he will machine the correct boot grooves so I can still use the C5 boots on the outside and the...

Yes, the outboard CV on the C5 suspension that I am useing has the same spline as the 930 CV. Option "A" is to use a spacer to get the correct length and a 930 CV on the inboard end of the factory C5 corvette axle or Option "B" that I am going to do which is to have new Axles made. Although the...

Forgot, but I am sure most know that is the Sauber Mercedes C9

I know the SLC is close in shape and no reason add another to the line up in this catagory but I just think this is my favorite. Short overhang in the front and the flowing shape of the sides over the wheel wells just makes me drool. I bought the Exoto model of it and have it on my desk to stare at.

and the old C5 inner CV that came off

Dave, I do make adapter plates sometimes in since I have my own machine bussiness. But only if I need to, they are cheap. I have a LS/G50-52 Kennedy package on the classifieds and cant get $450 for it. Here is a picture of the 930 CV on the C5 axel.

Yes, if you remove the inner GM CV joint the 930 CV will fit the spline. I plan to make a spacer like I have in the past to get the length right and still use the GM axle's since I know they will hold the power. One thing I am wondering but have not checked out is if the inner spline fits a...

Doug, I did email tilton and give them all the info on how many pots,what diameter and the tilton assy that I am useing and they gave me the same as what you have come up with. But I will double check. The new C6 Z06 brakes sure are the cheapest way to have supercar braking. As for the axels...

Glad to know some one else has solid mounted LS motors. I was nearly close to changeing mine. I use the stock brackets up from and the adapter plate has ears that come out to the frame and then the solid rear mount. I have the 911 roof and windshield frame so it is removable and working on...

Had some time for the project over the holidays. Got a bit of work done and can now roll it around with mock up shock rods in. I found I am missing one of the coil over rod ends so this will work for now. Everything is just about finished as for all the tabs and modifications and holes for...

Ebay is the answer to all, about $5-$10, well atleast it is a nicely done booklet.

I remember getting this and they were sort of limited at our local dealers sice the number of cars they were going to be allocated was so low. Was it worth saving?
