Yes, that is what I am doing. I am going to use my dial indicator to true them in the car rather than v-blocks. I'm not looking for speed beyond 75 mph.I like inner CV joints on the VW better than the Chrysler version, mainly due to the way they bolt to the trans rather than slipping into the transaxel. The Chrysler wheel bearing assembly is designed for higher loads, though.
WOW !! WOW !!!! WOW !!!!!!!Thanks Dude !!! I had no idea about this. If the spacing to the outers with my K frame works, all the better !!Thanks again !!!
While the idea of splicing the axles is cool, there is an easier solution. The first iteration of the Dodge Omni / Plymouth Horizon had a 1.7L VW engine. This was mated to a 4-speed VW (Chrysler code A412) transaxle. The axles used were VW bolt-into-the-trans on one end, and Chrysler splined stubs on the other. These allowed the VW transaxle to work with the standard Chrysler hubs. These hubs are the same as whats on the first generation Caravan.
Jeebus, that's a lot of work for a Caravan. :shock:
Quote from: "rallydiesel"Jeebus, that's a lot of work for a Caravan. :shock:I'm more into the vanagons. Bolt-in TD. Only significant difference being rear wheel drive. But still, I had a Caravan 9 years ago and thought it was great, and it's only work if it's not fun. Great project and thanks for sharing it with us. Andrew
