Elephant Ears Cracking?
Agreed a one piece is probably stronger. One bar from what I have learned does not distribute the load evenly. I don't know what the car will run yet. When I bought it, it was a running car but found so many problems I tore it all apart. Engine is a 440,4.15 crank, h-beam rods.+.030 over = 493.4 ci., weisco pistons and rings, ported Eddy heads, 11.4 compression, super vic. intake, 1050 dom., comp cams solid roller 273 [email protected]., 306 total, smith brother push rods, Harland sharp rockers 1.5, 4000 stall PTC converter, 727, narrowed dana 60 spool 4:56 gears, calvert split mono leafs and calvert bars, 32 X 14.5 M/T, 14 point tig welded cage with drivers hoop. I had to scrap all the wiring as it was about to catch fire! So I have rewired the entire system. The engine is totally rebuilt and so is the trans. 5 clutch pack hubs (billet hubs) and a bolt in sprag, Upon disassembly I found both were going to blow up very soon. I scrapped the interior and built a complete new interior. I media blasted the engine compartment and the complete under chassie and interior and painted it with Por 15. It's all steel with fiberglass hood "six pack scoop" and fiberglass rear deck lid. The complete rear quarter panels were replaced by the previous owner. At present it is a rust free car. Don't know what it will run. My guess is somewhere between 10.00 -10.50.
