Well hot dog just scored an early bronco 9". Hoping offset pinion won't be a problem. Been a lot going on lately. Hopefully we can start making some progress soon
Man, those housings are scarce. That was a good find. I can remember when everybody was looking for the disc brake 9 in out of those mercury things that was like a granada.
Not much different between a 4.11 and a 4.30 I n my Charger when I made that change to only thing that changed was the RPM going through the traps. You need to have a projected RPM range you want to run.
Love me some early Fords/Mercs., anything but a Mustang! Early Comets & Falcons are way better looking than some damn old nag. IMHO. These early compacts look incredible with a nose up stance! Keep up the good work.
My fords always liked rpm's .I would like a 4.56, or 488. It's a lever . I turned 351s 7500. A lot depends on tire size.
Front end back under car. Looks like the steering bracket hot dog fabbed and the steering arm we made will work perfectly. Have to do some math on rear gear I guess. Had Kirk at bullet spec a cam today. Still haven't touched riff raff. Still in the box. Wish I could pay myself for about a month to work on my junk instead of everybody else's. Pwt can't afford that shit.
Just joined this rag tag outfit and I like what I'm seein'. Love vintage SS/S, AF/X, Gassers and the like because that is where I'm from. Your attention to era correctness is to be commended and I love the vintage drag car paint scheme!
Well. Hotdog been greasin up the walls at the car wash. Got axle cleaned up. He's been wire wheeling the housing. I just finished up the right side floor
Speaking about sbf. A friend just set a new national record in a Fairmont 13.40 @ 99. change. Old record was 13.80. Those S/S cars fly.That was a 2 bbl 302. ,auto. Sorry about the side track.
Hard day today. Got the housing mocked up. Still have to load it and set car on floor and set pinion angle. Had to fab new tie plates. Painted new rear wheels. Hot dog made his aluminum door panels. Got one of the econoline seat bases cut down Hot dog also been bustin budget. Got a bunch of engine shit.
