You know what would be great ... having the instructions updated!!

If RT needs pixs I have plenty that could replace the rusty Camaro that is in the instructions.

ha ha ha agreed! but the same guy that builds the instructions is also the Tech guy so more calls he deals with, the less time he gets to update,,,kinda a double edge sword! because if he could update them he would get less calls!

Just thought I'd offer some pixs in case he had a minute or two!

Houston we have a problem, got the car on the ground at ride height (25" back) based on 315/30/18's and discovered that the diff cover will come into contact with the RT sway bar with less than 2" of travel ..... and then the diff will come into contact w floor pan ..... GRRRRRR!

I guess I could change out the cover out, clearance the bar, and or channel the trunk pan to get some travel. OR raise the rear end 2", I don't want to have a 4X4 here!

Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions? Rod, what kinda clearance does the 48 Hr have, Brett still has the 12 bolt? Could you measure the ride height at wheel lip?

I have about 4" of clearance in the wheel well before contact occurs and would like more then 2" before contact with hard parts .... any comments or suggestions would be appreciated! ROD?








Thanks for looking .... suggestions welcome!

Wow, no one commented! So I went back and looked at many 67 Camaros with RT 4bar and I guess they are that high ... 48 Hour Camaro sits tall in the rear so ...... I raised the car up to 27" and gained clearance on the pumpkin, I think I will raise the trunk a little (similar to a fuel sump just upside down?) and clearance the cross bar and re weld it outa the way of the suspension travel of the diff! I'll work on that after I get the rear brackets welded on ...

Finished welding the adapter for the tranny mount, and after measuring 27 times I think I have the brackets on the axles where they belong, the measurements are equal on both sides!!! I need to file the upper brackets down a little so they fit flush to the axle and then time for some heat!




Brace welded and mounted to the car now!

The upper brackets are good ... need to get them flush before welding!


With the adapter on the tranny and mounted I got -4 degrees on the engine and set up the rear for +4 degrees, should be good for final welding this week!

Thanks for looking .....

i have been watching this thread closely. I am putting scott mocks subframe and ridetechs 4 link under my 71 trans am clone.

I understand why your are frustrated with the 4 link fitment. I was surprised with issues with the subframe and 4 link. try using the directions to install the 4 link on a ford 9 inch. None of the brackets fit.

Keep up the good work and keep posting your progress. it is appreciated.

Looks like you are moving along. I need to copy your work ethic ! Beautiful day out in the garage in Phoenix !!

Michael, Your doing a great job. I hope the trans bracket worked to solve the problem of trans crossmember tab being a little short(and the tig welds looked OK) . I based That bracket length off info & 4L60E measurements I got from the auto recycle yard.Sorry for the inconvenience.

I read your thread .... everything is fine here, I can't go much lower than 27" and then I don't have any travel left. So .... I'm gonna raise the trunk above the diff and clearance the sway bar mounting bar some.

There's always more to come

Scott, that bracket was great! I will get you the measurements from bell housing to mounting bolt center one of these days .... I'll put it on my list!
