Re: New project
Well i got the 2.5 out and the mounts bolted in . Only 2 of the 3 bolts are accsssible and they are a pain to get in so welding the mounts is mansitory in my opinion . I cleaned up the frame with my 4 " grinder and a wire wheel so i can haul it down to the race car shop and have them welded . I'll get the motor in when i finish the mounts . Im going to see if he has a panish hammer for an air chisel and have the floor flange messaged while i got it over there . Here are a couple of pics i'll add some more later .

Re: New project
I bought a 9" ford local off Craigslist with a back brace , early style large bearing ends and is 48" . I also found a set of 31 spline Mosers on the bullet that were built for the exact set up ( believe that luck ) . I have a 31 spline spool , but im thinking about buying an aftermarket case and using a Nascar detroit locker off ebay as they can be had for around $200 shipped . This will give me a wheel mount to wheel mount of 53" . Factory is 54.5" , so 3/4" per side narrower allowing me to run up to a 4.5 backspace wheel . I currently have 15 x 10 4 " back space but 4.5 backspace is alot more popular .
I am stuck on the "stock suspension" classes . I could have back halved it but then i'd be limited class wise . The old school backhalve classes are fast (4.80's) . Stock suspension classes run 275's or 26 x 8.5's and are around the 5.90's , this will give me a place to work into . Primary goal right now is Pinks all out and 7.0 index . I have a daughter going to college soon so it's going to be slower index stuff or nothing for a few years .

Re: New project
Sorry , i did get the housing finished , but my dad has congestive heart failure and has been hospitalized on and off for 2 monthes . He has only 15% heart muscle alive . Just got word he will not be getting released . They have already sent him home with the "nothing more we can do". Just the dye to check for blockage would probably shut his kidneys down & he is having 2 to 5 seizsures a day . Been spending most of my free time with him . Pretty much put projects on hold to enjoy what time is left .

Thoughts and prayers with you hotrod. It's a very tough time in a boys life. There will be plenty of time for the toys later. Keep your chin up.

Re: New project
Prayers sent from the Tolliver's. I lost a very dear uncle a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad I spent the weekend with him the weekend before he passed. My Uncle Larry was recently diagnosed with cancer and his heart couldn't take the chemo.

Re: New project
I'm sorry to hear this. I know how you feel....I lost my dad 7 years ago on Sept 2. In fact today would have been his 77th birthday. I can still remember saying good bye to him the last time. Make the most of what time you have left with him. My prayers are with you and your family.

Re: New project
still trying to get this thing ready for next season . Bought a set of 73-87 sepside rear taillights and mounted them to the bed as the trailer lights that were on it didnt work . Also got it to the muffler shop (Petes muffler here in Baytown ( shamless plug ) ) . The rules call for street leagal exhaust , tags ,, inspection ,, etc . Doesnt say i have to make passes through muffler , so 3" pipe to 3" cutouts ( manual) to 3" 80 series big block mufflers with dumps in front of the axle . picking it up tommorow . Be nice to drive it without the reverb .
