Meissen's LT1 Build-up Thread

[JoeliusZ28]

Yeah - from what I'm reading on Cz28 I'll have to measure to see how centered it is but it sounds like it being a little off center is OK.

i took roughly 40 thou off between my heads and thinner gaskets. i used pushrods that were 50 thou shorter because they fit best according to the length checker, and it makes sense anyway.

Brian, you just might beat me to this, its gunna be dang close.

[Darren]

haha, we are on the last lap whose going to pull it out in the end!?

[sman]

I think it really depends on who gets their tranny first. I haven't had a call from Mike yet, and im sure if Brian had, we would have heard about it.

The problem we had is: the bolt length right out of box with everything on the bolt but the frame and sway bar. left 3/8 of an inch past the nut. When you install everything on just with frame you lost 1/8 of and inch. then if you put swaybar on with that the mount area of sway bar was 3/8 inch or more. even forcing everything together as tight as possible best we could do is bolt would barly come even to bottom washer. No room left on bolt to get nut even started with 1 thread or 2. I have done end links on a number of cars 1st time I had such a problem.

I was just saying that I wonder if the front ones are shorter than the back or if there is a difference between the 2 and the way they hook up???

The 2 sets I have done have had at least 1.5" of thread sticking out the top side of the mount when I was done.

You guys did the right thing
