Re: SS6 bags for front of '68 250?

Also, the lower bag cups, do they need to bolted down to the control arms? Never seen a solid answer on this as most seem to just say that they're placed in.

Thanks fellas.
Straight 6's are about equal weight to V8's so the larger 7" bags are what I would use. Lower bag cups can 'float' in the lower arms as the weight of the vehicle keeps them in place.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
