Hey Kevin, i keep looking into your thread for updates lol. Inspiring work again. I was wondering for your Delrin bushings, i cannot remember if you installed zerk fittings in them...pretty sure you have esp. with the extensive details in your build.
My question when installing the zerk fittings, does the hole extending into the actual delrin bushings themselves? or do they stop at the control arm material only? reason being is i see that the delrin have internal grooves in them and im wondering if the hole extends to the metal insert in the bushings?
Thanks in advance

Wish I cold see the pictures
Your thread is very detailed and informative, for some reason the pictures would
not come thru so it was not possible to actually "see" what you were describing.

yeah.... some impressive skill set you have there.
Seem like you have full access to machine-shop tools... I'm sure that makes life dandy LOL.
question about your shifter...
you're HAD the GTO shifter plate (which goes into the t56); would I be able to use the same shifter plate on a t56 from an f-body? (trying to prevent the hacking of my chassis LOL)
Or, do I need to use a MGW shift kit?

I love the build but... Didn't you just throw the engine out of balance by cutting the pistons like that? Usually valve reliefs would be done before balancing the assembly.
