You guys are too much, I'm outa here.





I would leave and not come back also if I made comments that showed I had no clue about what I was talking about. I figured your new motor swap was still in the shop and would no be running right for a long time. I think myself and several others called this back when you first started your Thread on the swap. With 30 years of GM experinace you think you could figure out the problem yourself and fix it but with the comment you made about the cradle, I see why you can't.

Well that's the difference between you and me. My car isn't an assembled junk yard-back yard special, I contacted a firm to build an engine for me, they didn't do it right, so they're fixing it at their cost and labor. Why the hell should I do all the diagnosis, and tear the engine down to replace the springs!!!

Sound like that might be Tina's Cradle.... Nope not the right color... Maybe Carbon Fiber Kids.... or mmiller's, or many other 88 owners. The problem is when beating on the car you stress that area. You stress it even more when the dogbone is loose or missing. But what you don't realize is when you reinforce that area you do it under the area. I didn't think there was a mirror in that picture but you may have a 3D monitor that many of us don't have... Oh but then you would have seen them...

hummmm how to enter this and comeout clean.
i do alot of welding and modification of structual steel members on cars.
you need to know where the stress is in somthing like a engine cradle an how much meterial is there to take that wheight
the example that was used when it was taught to me was if you suport the needle at the top of the space needle with a plastic fork it might not brake where as if you suport the bottem with a fork chances are its not gunna last but if you suport it with a million forks it will
case in point know where your load is and how much it is

The differance between my car and yours is mine is faster hands down and always will be. No matter who you get to build your car, what valve covers you put on it or what HP claims you make, it will always be slower. Your car may look better hands down but that is not the route I choose to take with my car at this point so you do have me beat there. But for $1500 more I can have a nice paint job which will put my car not only faster but looking better than yours. And at that point I will still have a 1/4 of what you have invested in your slow azz V-8 that puts down 300 HP if you are lucky.

So what do you see wrong that I have done with my stock non cut 88 cradle? You do know the differance between an 88 cradle and a Pre-88 cradle right?

Mr.? Not yet. Maybe if you ask Daddy Hammit nicely, someday he'll make you a real boy. But for now, you'll just have to settle with being his puppet, and having his hand up your azz to make you talk.
