Lunar, I might have missed it. The 2-piece driveshaft; the center bearing. (Carrier-bearing?). I remember the '58-'64 Chevy's having that type driveshaft. They had the "X" shape frame. A few family members had those cars, and when the carrier bearing went bad, the mechanics had an awful time figuring out the problem. They probably didn't know about them is all. Anyways, I can't wait to see this car driving!!!! Lube on bolts changing torque.....Makes perfect sense. The lube reduces friction, then the bolt gets OVER torqued....
Good Seeing You Man, That Supra’s Going To Be A Beast!! I’m So Glad You’ve Re-Worked That Period Correct 455 V-8 For The Buick GS.. Can’t Wait To See The Finished Products Good Sir!!
So, im swapping a 1jz-gte vvti into my 88 mk3 that currently has the 4.30 diff. I was thinking of swapping the diff for the 3.73 due to the fact that the 7m-ge and w58 would run at 4k rpm at 80ish mph and i ran 1st gear out quickly. It had a lot of torque but top speed was very low. I know the 1j reaches max torque at 2600rpm due to the vvti, so i was thinking of swapping the 4.30 thats like having truck gears to the 3.73 which i would assume would move some of that torque to top end speed. Hopefully this makes sense. Am i correct in my assumption? Also thanks for another helpful vid. Hopefully i get to run into you at suprafest this year (if my build is done by then).
