"rusty ol cuda" nightmare on any street wheelstander project
....so I neutral dropped it at 2500 rpm's......problem? nah...ramchargers back in the day would punch the low button at 4500 rpms....it's either gonna stay together or fly apart.....that was Kewl!!!!!!!!!!! I did a wheelie!!!!!
I just found this new thread. I was still going to the old one.
Ya, the Ramchargers did it. But they weren't paying for the parts, and they replaced the trans frequently. Plus the slicks were nothing like the ones today. Remember the 1/4 mile smokies? NO traction.
It will live for awhile, and then there will be a million pieces in the pan, if it does break the case in half first. Or the rear sprag will fail. Don't ask me how "I KNOW". :?
I'm glad to see you went with disc brakes!!! Much safer.
You did the front pillow block a little different. Bob used 2 pivots, one each at the forward end of the subframe bars. That way it worked more like a ladder bar.
Bob also said every time he did an "all 4 wheels off the ground" wheelie, the 8-3/4 spider gears were toast. He always carried several spares til he changed to the 10.5" Eaton rear end. Problem solved.
Looking Good. Wish mine was progressing that fast.
