My question was more rhetorical than anything--I KNOW how to relocate them--I wanted to know why Wyrmrider thought it was worthy of a good luck statement.

Thanks for the link and reminder rumble/ ratrod
OP you can overpower that chassis with a stock 360
do the chassis first
if strip stock or 6 cylinder bars
if on the road the largest you can find
good luck on that 8 3/4 width/ spring perches almost easier to build a 9" Ford mustang or find something else that fits
thanks for being on board with the connectors- we bent more than one of those up
even with the 413 we had to keep a wide torque band with the stock big heavy three speed even more so than the TF we switched to
stock cam was too long so we used special Isky then Racer Brown
To me, this makes sense except for the Ford 9 thought. IF you have the funds and your going big, then fine.
That's why I asked...he mentioned having an 8 3/4 available...something about a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush.
I don't remember him saying so but good you remembered and if he does, he is basically done, save high strength axles and what ever other upgrades to the rear he may deem.
My goal is upgrade brakes to disc in front, 8.75 rear, my A230, 318 screamer-ish, sub frame connectors at least, beefier rear springs...etc
I'd like to go solid camWhat gear?
You want a solid cam or hydraulic?
Your plan on the car is good and solid, the three speed manual is going to be like a two speed power glide though. It’s going to like more gear than you may want, depending on your intended usage. They do work pretty good for an out for a quick blast adrenaline hunt raise hell car if that’s what your looking for. An overdrive a833 is the same way, but the overdrive makes it more livable for regular usage. Supposedly, there was an a230 close ratio “challenger” three speed, reminded me of the red stripe 2nd and 3rd ratios, but I only know it as an internet rumor.I have 1 currently out of a 68 wagon with 3 speed, possibly 2 more from 67 wagons, and 1 from a 75 d100. At the moment don't really have a budget .just getting ideas on tried and true combos.
I'd like to compete with the fox body 5.0 and SB Chevy Camaros that everyone has and think they are the cats a$$.
Yes and V8 S10sOo-this is gonna be fun...
But I do have to laugh at this...people still rocking Foxes and F bodies in your area?
And what are these guy running that you want to match or exceed?Yes and V8 S10s
The .130 amount of cylinder sleeve is normally not available for this type of endeavor.The overbore to 340 is attractive because you can tone it down 9.8:1, moderate solid cam, 3.91-4.10 gears, and give everything else a fit with that lightweight combination
