I spoke to Jay and Blake for a bit yesterday and today. In general we are a bit stumped with the issue. We compared measurements with Jay's car in the shop. Overall the front UCA mount is the same measurement as Jay's car and to the factory specs. I had to measure from the engine side of the cross shaft since the car is together. Measurement was 28 3/4. Factory mount to mount is 30 5/8" and each cross shaft is .900" which equates to a .075" delta with rough measurements.
We also compared the ball join center to the cross shaft and came up with the same measurements. So it seems they are the correct arms/shafts. Blake is sending me more measurements to verify the arms are correct. He doesn't believe the arms are the issue.
Blake thinks something is wrong with the frame itself but we are both not sure where or why. He's concludes this since he has installed this setup on multiple cars without issue. The odd thing is that I have ~1/2" rear shims and 0 on the front while other cars he's build have 1/8" front and rear to get the setup.
Basically the solution we came up with is to cut the UCA support and push it outward ~1/4" then weld it back together so I can move the UCA out to add static camber. Other option is to raise the ride height or the control arm in the slotted mounts. Both of these can't be done because if the arms are raised I lose camber gain and because the ride height looks perfect as is...
I might also call around for a farm shop to get them to check the chassis just to make sure nothing is bent that I'm not aware of.
