Finally had enough time to myself to take care of some things I've had waiting to go into the Fobra for months!
4.30 geared rearend with vented cobra brakes, MM HD Adj. lower control arms, new stock upper control arm bushings, MM pinion snubber, and a BBK o/r X pipe (which doesn't fit right?)
Anyways, onto the pics of the day ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
new stock rubber upper control arm bushings in the 430 rearend, MM bushing tool was used here, took about 5 minutes. I was shocked how easy it was with their tool, could easily be done with the rearend in the car.
Stack of new MM parts to throw into the car, got a bunch elsewhere in the garage I still need to get to for this car too (MM C/C plates, MM alum. steering rack bushings)
Old 3.27 whiner jacked up for the final time!
air tools FTW

155k mile upper control arm bushings on the old rearend have obviously seen better days!

All kinds of win. Thanks Glenn for your old rotors, I had Napa turn them for me for 20 bucks :mrgreen:
H pipe vs X pipe
Note the hanger and rear O2 locations. Hangers and rear o2's do not work on my car. Weird!

Nice pics. I like those jack stands. Where did you get them at?

yes this is my fobra, it's a 32v with deleted IMRC's, the gears honestly feel perfect for the car.
I don't know where the jack stands are from, I bought them and a matching lightweight 2 ton aluminum jack for 40 bucks off craigslist, they are "big red" brand.
