I still am working on my engine but it's just about ready...waiting on a few add ons...I hope to have the engine completed in a week or so.....The way the bags are set i should have 11" of lift in the rear and 7" in the front that way i can pick the height I want and then when i park it i can dump it.
There is a lot to say about that "+" behind the 600.
The 63 is a build that I am collecting parts on and want 90% of them before I pull one wrench on the truck.
I have a 72 frame horn to graft in so I can bolt a power steering box on to the frame, no adapter needed. Not sure what tech inspection at the track would say about those adapters.
Yeah, this forum has lots of different stuff going on. That is what makes it great.
The look I am going for is the 70's bracket racer look but much lower. They had those cars and trucks way too high.
As for the 8's, it's a goal, the same goal that got my 68 firebird to run a best of 9.44 at around 140, all motor.
Make 'em light, get the suspension right and they'll fly...
