Red's (WHOMP MEISSEN and maybe LARRY TOO!) rebuild

[PACE]

Sweet sounds good, You want 3.73 rear gears for sure red. Will work good with your set up...

[kammi10]

4.11 are going to be to much for her.

And our cars only have a 7.5 ring gear and the 3rd gen is bigger than that.
But thanks

Summer M&G is July 18 if my memory serves me right.

actually that is false kyle... both 3rd aqnd 4th gens have a 7.5 ring gear

[Phantom409]

O.k.

When I looked up rears on Summit the 3rd gen period showed a bigger size but maybe I did something wrong.

[kammi10]

yeah 3rd gens use the same rear end the axles and housing is just 2 inches wider per side

[MunsterZ28]

ok not to thread jack but if i put my 4.10s in my stock rear end, and only use it for street driving its going to weaken my rear? i dont understand? or is this just reds case because shes putting down killer numbers

[Phantom409]

4.10 will be the weakest that you can put in a stock rear.

3.73 is a safe gear that can handle decent HP through the stock rear.

Now you can go and do a a performance diff cover:


This will help flex on the main caps that hold the diff in place and give it better strength.

I personal wouldn't tell you to do 4.10's in a stock rear unless you have an auto.
I can tell you that you will run 2500 RPM's at 80 going down the high-way with 4.10's

If you really want to know I'd never put a dime toward any 10 bolt, period.

[Phantom409]

Me either but some people don't have that option.

I didn't
I went 9"

[DETROITMUSCLE]

everyone has that option, you either leave the 10 bolt as it is from the factory or save up and buy a 12 bolt, 9", S60 ect.

I think I can safely say the car is now done. Plan on taking it up to Sparta this morn and hopefully the plugs won't foul out. Here's the engine pics in broad daylight.

[SoulTerror]

Ever find out why you kept fouling your plugs?

[92conv]

Looks good, Red!!! Hope everything goes well from here on out.

[Old Fart]

Ever find out why you kept fouling your plugs?

Right now the general consensus is the fuel enrichment at start up. TJ had my car all day last Thursday and did some more tuning. I guess he told Kyle he took away around half of that fuel enrichment. So I'm hoping that is what the prob was. I'm just getting ready to take her out right now .. we'll see!

Pictures look great Red, glad to hear about the good news on your car, cant wait to see it in person!
