Yes you have to take some off the rear toe block to put the anti squat shims in.only 5 mins work with the dremel.

The Gen 2 has a raised gearbox compared to the Gen 1 car so you don't need to take much at all from the arms, just test fit them and take a little from the original diff outdrive cut away.

Hope this helps

thanx for your reply.so i do have to dremel a slot in block so as motor plate fits in wen lifted buy shims.the pictures in the link you sent me dont show any shims under block i can see 45 deg shamfer on block but my motor seems to mesh fine without doing this

Yes your correct you have to take a corner off the block to clear the motor plate.

The blocks very strong to doing these mods are fine, I'm yet to break one

These pics are from the Gen 1 car so with the raised gear box you don't need to chamfer as much off the block or wishbones

Have a look on this section of the forum and go with Danny McGee base set up and work from there, maybe try a brass bulkhead?
