Stroker's 68 Barracuda
I've got the 489 case in a fixture on the workbench. Waiting to finish off backlash and the pattern. The adjusters I have are little wonky, so about 20 minutes ago I ordered a new set from Mark Williams. It completely escapes me as to why I have no pics of the build process of the chunk. I stuffed it with a Sure Trac II, 3.55 gears, and a crush sleeve eliminator all from Doctor Diff. I'll post up some pics on that next time.
Last week I was starring at the car and itbwas just sitting too high. I dropped the front hanger to the lowest position, it's got and inboard kit on it, and the wheel lip was still 31" from the ground. Now, at this point there is absolutely no weight in the car. No engine, no trans, no interior. It's all sheet metal and mouse ****. But the no name springs that were on there were just super stiff. I imagine they are some sort of super stock springs, but maybe just for a heavier car.
Out they came and in went a set of mopar 2800 lb car Super Stock springs. Still a high rider out back, but again, no weight at all in car.
I know Im gonna have to cut off the spring perches and reset pinion angle, no big deal. What are you all running for shocks out back with super stock springs?
Lot's of mouse **** when I pulled down the headliner. Must've been a field car in a former life.
That's the after shot and that tire is a 275/60R15, 27.99" x 10.5"
When I get this down to the garage Im gonna CAD up a guage cluster and have the guys at Laser Bros cut it out for me.
Also finally got my left tail light lens and headlight bezels at Carlisle. KS Auto Supply had everything I needed.
