hey if you ever know anybody who wants a chap up
grade to a monza get an s10 rear end and
springs.
Cut down front part of springs by measureing from
center of spring bolt hole to where you drill 3/8 hole
for centering bolt then measure back to back of
spring pad.
either use competition eng spring pads or
cut old ones off so you can set pinion angle
(recommmend 2.5 to 4 deg. down weld 3 in.angle to spring pad
with angle forward and some mounts for shocks(set at a
good angle, for stability, and point bolts towards
center of car,bolt threads can tear up tires real
good)
have drive shaft made for proper length and use large
yokes and s10 ujoints and add conversion joint to front
unless you use thm400.
And remember 89 up s10's with
4.3 can have 8.5 10 bolt (look for tubes that taper
after coming out of center section).Works great and to
install all you have to do is ream out lower control arm
holes in body to fit factory s10 spring bolts.
Oh
and this means "NO TORQUE ARM"
Any questions let
me know cause this works great.
