How can I go about that if I've already got:
383: 4-bolt main block Eagle 3.75" 4340 crank w/ 6.0" 4340 rods SRP forged dished pistons 10:1 Comp Cam XE274 w/ Magnum roller rockers 1.6 ratio Dart Iron Eagle 200cc heads 2.02/1.60 Speed Demon 750 mech. secondaries I'd LIKE to pull 12's in the 1/4 when the motor is finally broken in. I'm open for any suggestions.

With that engine, coupled with a Th350, along with a posi rear end with gears in the 3.4x-4.1x, and a good hook, I can GURAN-DAMN-TEE you'll go 12's!
If you got leaf springs in the back, I would recommend a flip kit, with spring clamps in front of the axle. |

By the way, I AM running coils. Any way I could get the hook I want without going to a flip kit w/ leafs?

Your coil setup will hook much better than the leafs, & much less hassles. The long trail arms make a good traction bar. It sounds like you have the rubber on the back, but may find that the truck will hook better on the strip than on the street.....i would take it out & run it after you get the fresh mill broke in, see how it does, & work from there

My only concern about HotRodsToHell's kit is that I already have the complete 4/6 drop kit from Early Classic, which has springs, shocks, shock mount relocator, and drop spindles. How would this interfere with HotRodsToHell's kit?
