The drive system consists of (or will) T56 tranny and a LSD R230 Rear end: The following are pictures of work in progress. Once done I will add commentary on the Drivetrain page. |
|
Here is the Serpentine belt routing I removed the OE Z28 idler and used a new mount and pulley and gutted the P/S pump to use as a pulley. |
|
Here is the bracketry for the new pulley |
|
CV to Companion flange adapters Made to VERY close tolerances, everything is very tight. The 4 bolts holding to the Comp. Flange are 7/16", so the companion flange holes need to be enlarged slightly. |
|
Here it is attached to the R180 mustache bar As you can see the mounting bolts on teh R230 are wider apart, so the holes had to be redrilled....pretty easy! |
|
All mounted in place! I had to make a new rear brace (white piece) because the cooling fins on the rear of the diff hit on the stock brace.... |
|
Just another angle |
|
The Stock Diff vs the Q45 unit As you can see the R230 is much beefier and has very strong CV jointed half shafts. |
