From what i found (i spend along time looking) then is no outer cv joint that will do big block on the hub side and small block on the shaft side.

Rears are easy, get a Cav v6 or Vectra hub and fit it.

[burgo]

i know of someone who can make a cv that will go into a big block gearbox but retain the nova shafts so im sure he could do it at the hub end aswell

[novaboz]

if you could find out mate that would be great :) cheers so far

[novaboz]

anyone else got any ideas? cheers

yes im going thru this with a local company, nova inners, cav outers

looking around £250 for the shafts complete with Cv's then you need the hubs and bearings :thumb:

[Benn]

Thats a good price, is that for the shaft to me made?

[General Baxter]

yep new shafts,

the problem is iv got to give them the cvs to match it, so ill have you buy new ones, but they will charge me more, to put new ones on lol

[Benn]

Get some 2nd hand ones then....

[General Baxter]

they want clean ones lol

[novaboz]

Put a real mans xe in! :p lol

haha :P going for handling on this one mate, running an inlet a 4-2-1 cams and maped up to suit so shouldnt be to far off the power of a 2.0 just less tourque.. all good if you keep it up the revs though :P lol

[Benn]

All this big blocks dont handle is bollocks anyway...

[draper]

they want clean ones lol

so clean some second hand ones up

[Benn]

they want clean ones lol

Heard of a cloth? Even new ones come with grease inside them.

never said they didnt lol, but with a small block it deffo handles better

[Benn]

I dont think so. I found them both about the same tbh.
