Re: So our engine for this weekend is no good...

It's IRS so you don't need any slack in the driveshaft. 3/8" is fine, it won't be moving in and out like a live axle would.

Now get OFF the dang interwebs and back out to the garage!!!

Still on jackstands. Gotta add clutch cable, steering column, wheels, water, hood. No test drive possible, no lights. One snag after another. We're gonna be leaving late...

Okay, now we're about to leave Maryland. Car isn't ready, but it's loaded. See you guys tomorrow afternoon. We'll be the ones frantically trying to get the car ready for tech, then frantically trying to get it ready to race.
