thanks clem, really means alot coming from a great builder like yourself, and the dragstrip photo is my favorite as well, not sure if you can tell the name behind the picture or not but its called paradise dragstrip , a really fitting name. i do appreciate the support, still think your truck should have won though,razorback red is definitly one of my favorites.

If you have a few minutes would you mind posting your engine build info in this thread I started?

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=612016

thanks , and I have to give the 12 bolt one more shot , just one of those gotta know things. I posted my build on the 406 build thread, thanks for introducing me to it.

I just saw the thread and went through the whole thing and it's great. I used a new 9" in my 67 nova and have nothing but problems (whining gears) out of it. It seems that the aftermarket gears are cut different than the older Ford gears. I have had Heidt's, Johns 9" factory, DTS and Strange set up center sections with new gears for me. They all whine! I will be building a 8.8 or a Dana 60 for the Nova and maybe one for the 65 C10. Good luck and don't forget a driveshaft loop on that very nice truck.

thanks for the kind words and the info on the 9 inch, I have seen the 8.8 take a lot of abuse one of my buddy's had a fox body with a high compression 406 sbc and a glide that ran 630's on the motor leaving on a brake and never had a minutes problem with the 8.8 but he wasn't pushing the weight I am either lol, hard to get a brick off the line without breaking something.

thanks chad, more power means more carnage.
