Finished new shock perches and the stance came out perfect.
Perches still need to be trimmed up and corners rounded off.
Plus I'll use racecar 15X4 rally wheels with shorter front tires.
And I have a set of 15X8 rallys that will match with the fronts.

Re: Rockauto F/C Brake Parts
Dave: Out or curiosity why not coated.I just got four new drums and brake shoe sets from RockAuto but didn't want coated drums or the brake hardware so not the same kit parts you mention exactly.
I know you live in that PHX hot weather.
I'm on the coast so coating is needed Y/N?

Rockauto F/C Brake Parts
Anybody have experience with this brake parts kit? F/C same as many GM models from the 1950's-70's. Vairy good price and I think we all know why that is. Right now I need three sets for Greenie and Hulkster. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10990272&cc=1489914&pt=1001602&jsn=...

Indeed I'm sure this kind of thing has been done with SBC and such like a DZ block.

Re: RR Block Listed on e-bay at the moment.
TYD is right...the eBay R's are different than GM stamp R's. Pretty sure GM had a stamp jig or fixture that fit on the case. Making every stamping the same location and perfect straight. Snips from eBay ad and snip from a known RB 140 case of mine. Plus...seller uses the word rare way too many time...

Re: RR Block Listed on e-bay at the moment.
We tried to do what TYD is suggesting...stamp font must be GM only.
I have 5 or 6 stamp sets...one of them is close but not quite the same.
Which one of you Corvair parts hoarders has the correct font stamps??

Too Low...is There Such a Thing?
If I cannot get it off my racecar trailer that is designed for super low cars...YES!! Hulkster went on the trailer okay as the sellers house had a downhill driveway. Fabricating new shock perches to make it more practical and also adjustable. The original perches were 1/2" thick (overkill) new...

Re: Wild 1962 Corvair build mid engine Audi V8
Must not have been enough room for the original biturbo?
So, sure why not use a blower instead...same basic results.
