I like the internal alignment setup with the heavy tool steel bar going through the bearing centered jigs. Looks like a more positive placement than using external V blocks to line the tube up. With the quality prep and welding I dont believe you will have any trouble with this rearend. Its only a matter of accurately placing your brackets for proper alignment and straight line hits on the track. Kiwi continues to impress. The Lark will be a beast.
Yup. The driver side is longer than the passenger side ,this allows the chunk to be center underneath the car. By shorting it 2 7/8” you are able to use the same length axles on both sides.
No.. the ford 8.8 is offset to the right or passenger side. By shorting the driver side 2 7/8” it centers the rear end under the car . The axle’s are the same length now.
Always a good day when you learn something new!!
Absolutely!
Thank you for taking us along for this. Very cool and glad to see you two working together.
Thanks.. kiwi has been a great friend.
Awesome work!👍
Had to watch both, good seeing you two are still tight.

Excellent video learn alot
Nice job! Nice video! Thanks for sharing! That jig kit is pretty cool!
Yes it is.
You're working off the Bearings not so much the housing, you can move the tubes with to much heat .
Only cutting one side???

So one axle will be shorter and the whole rear-end will slide over towards the right side of the frame? Thanks.
