<VV> Lowering Early

[levair at aol.com]

The back of the Bill Thomas/Doug Roe 1960 Corvair is  now lowered by 
raising the entire drive train. The resulting camber on the rear of the 
car is -1/2 deg.

Smitty Says;  Ray turn your thinking upside down and start thinking 
this
way.  What can be done to raise the engine and drive train up into the 
body
of an Early?  If you are commited to having near 0 Degrees camber in 
back
that is the only way you can do it.  I'm sure if you actually look at 
the
situation, as I have you will realize you would be biting off a huge 
chunk
to accomplish raising the engine a measley 2 inches for an equal ride 
height
reduction.
