(10-26-2017, 06:09 AM)atypicalguy Anybody know if the v8 rear subframe will wit in a wagon? I am going to buy one and see. They have another cross brace to prevwnt torque steer apparently.
IIt is an 87 wagon with 606.
Also, dont urethane bushings always squeak? I would hate that.
The V8 rear subframe definitely fits under the '87 wagon...I have been running one for a couple of years that I swapped over from my sedan. I recommend getting the rear half of the driveshaft and matching input flange for the diff (and diff cover) from the donor. I have mixed and matched front and rear driveshaft halves many times with no issues..always made sure to match up the mating arrows and never had any vibes or noises...I did get a custom shaft made up by Southbay Driveline in San Jose, but it's always good to have a stockish setup ready to go in case there's issues...
I have similar engine plans for my wagon...already have the biturbo kit for the 606 and a gs6-53dz 6 speed to back it up...just need the time to finally put it together...
I've had many cars with poly bushings and have never heard any of them squeak...I think that was something that was more common with older formulations back in the 80's...I have an older kit for a Jeep XJ that I never got around to installing in the early 90's...perhaps one day I will put those in and find that they indeed do squeak...
