The Wavetrac and gears showed up yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have the 3rd member assembled by the end of the weekend.
I haven't had much luck finding cheap drag wheels so I'm just gonna put some Hoosier 315s on wide ZR1 rears and call it a day for now. Maybe I'll be able to hook in 1st and 2nd gears for once.

RIP 10 BOLT. You won't be missed.
Car is parked until the 9" goes in. I had to drive home at 30mph because it was making some really nasty noises with vibrations I could feel right through my shifter. I was beating on it pretty hard and expected it to break.Last edited by Catmaigne; 03-08-2014 at 10:36 PM.

I'll be ripping the rear out and selling it to a friend who wants the posi and brakes as soon as the 9" is ready. I'm curious to see what went wrong with the 10-bolt myself. Progress on the 9" has been slow but all of the bearings except the pinion pilot have been pressed on so the only thing left to do is set the preload and adjust the pattern. It should be going in within the next few weeks or sooner.
The new rear really should have been in already but I've been so distracted by other things. I picked up a junkyard LT1 today from a Roadmaster for the block along with these beauties...

A set of lightly used Trick Flow 195s for $650. The kid I bought them from said some of the valves might be bent but I've yet to find a valve that wouldn't seal or seemed damaged. I'm gonna take a closer look at them and probably end up sending them out to Lloyd Elliot.Last edited by Catmaigne; 03-14-2014 at 01:52 AM.

2 of the exhaust valves weren't sealing properly so I ordered new ones. Everything else should check out hopefully and then they'll be off to Lloyd.
Work on the rear has been slow even though that's probably what I should be focusing on right now. I've been so tied up with other things and favors that I haven't had time to get anything done. There's one more bearing that needs to be pressed on (the pinion pilot) and then all I have to do is set the preload and run some patterns. Not hard, just time consuming.96Z M6, ERE-383 #60, AFR 210s, LE cam, 9", Procharger D1, ???whp

All of the bearings are pressed in and I think I have the proper preload with the test bearing. I just need to pick up another outer pinion bearing and torque it down and it will be time for contact patterns.

The rear is 90% there. I'm still waiting on brakes, should be taking a trip to the junkyard this thursday to pick some LS1 style discs hopefully. Once I get those I can press the axle bearings on and get this thing under my car.

I'm replacing my ZR1s with these. 17x9.5 front and 18.10.5 rear w/ 315 Toyo Proxes TQ radials. Those should be in on Wednesday hopefully.
I've also been working on my tune and managed to make something pretty useful out of the old one Solomon sent me. What sucks is that the ALDL cable I was using quit halfway through the 2nd program of the day and bricked my spare PCM. Was gonna try to make it to the dyno day next Saturday if the tune was on point but it looks like that's not happening anymore.
Everything right now is really just prep for OCMD 2014. I have a little more than a month to get everything in order.96Z M6, ERE-383 #60, AFR 210s, LE cam, 9", Procharger D1, ???whp

You'll be happy having LE do those TFS 195's. He did mine way back in like 2006 and after it was running, it was worth every penny. Just and FYI but measure the valve guides. TFS say's they're .500. Mine most certainly are NOT. I'm using a .484 solid body valve seal on mine now (well, ordering today at least).
