it might turn a 17 or 18sec in the 1/4

www.arengineering.com cant go wrong

Alot to be said for spings/caltracs nowdays, high 10s? easy done

I guess because... hey, its a 440:thumleft: nearly complete runner 72 block .030 TRW 11.5 pop ups, six pack rods 906s 509 cam holley street dom intake with a 750 dp holley got it home last night and will fire it up on the floor in a day or so

just personly if I had the choice again id keep with the old leaf spring set up, update the springs move them inboard or Id go ladder bar, far more simple to set up caltrac systems are doing wonders for leaf spring cars now & four links are a science to get right

28" tall ? I doult they will clear the inner guards, also beware of perished side walls, remember they are cheap for a reason & you get what you pay for, personly I wouldnt use those tyres, street or track

Im in gold coast, thats 3 of us close by, probly more around too

my goodness there is a few aussies on this site now, wellcome, sounds like you should sell me that car :thumblef:

Iv repaired way worst than that. such a waste

anit that the truth, but unfortunitly that happens world wide

talking of suspention the car has calvert 90/10s up front & competition engineering 12 way ajustable coil overs out back front fenders removed, alloy trunk, dash removed, fully tubbed with a 10 point cage. the brakes are early 80s aussie Valiant slotted rotors & alloy calipars up front...

the 915s are shaved to 75cc, this calculates on the eagle cranks website to just on 10 to 1 comp. thats as high as Id take it on these pistons. our track is not close to sea level but offen on some evenings paticularly this time of year we see perfect air

Here is the car, seen here in a cheap black primer. All steel body & it weighs just on 2850, its got 4.56s 31" tires, I do have a t/a J converter 3800 in another trans and an M1 with 950hp carb but I was saving that for the 448withSRs build & I really thought that the J and 950 would be too much...

Wow! so many variants on the same floor pan... its no wonder we like them...

yea I was guessin low 12s with that engine
