5 Stud conversion?

[Benn]

Oh, then the cv will be small block.

Dont know what the gear box in on one of them tho so cant say if its big or small block.

will update tomorrow but if people use nova gte shafts and big block inners why cant i use diesel shafts with big outers

[Benn]

They dont, they use cavmk2 inners, which have small block shafts but use a big block inner, so the cv has a big block end, but the inner bit has small block size and teeth/splines.

You cant just put a big block cv on a gte shaft.

tried today on the spare shafts the big outers DO NOT FIT ON DIESEL SHAFTS

[Benn]

I know. Derv shafts are still small block.

[davidfox280585]

yes benn wondering how david has sorted his, i have pm'd him so will add when i sort out what needs doing,
loadsa help if your using big block but nobody seems to have covered 5 stud small blocking yet so hopefully it will help others out

[Benn]

I spend ages looking for the cv books at work trying to workthis out.
As i wanted to use my gsi/gte shafts which have a 28spilne end and have a big block cv to run the 5stud.

No big block outers that i could find thru the whole gm range have a 28spilne.

Thats why i run safts that are big block both ends.

[davidfox280585]

that means i need to check up as corsa c cdti sris are 5 stud meaning i can use small block shafts still but buy new 5 stud hubs which will be a direct fit

[Benn]

1, is that engine a small block?
2, its all about the spilens on the cvs, i'm sure i checked corsa c's cvs and they wernt the same.

[davidfox280585]

mine is a corsa c basically so should be ok will make a few calls monday
