What kind of heads are those? edit read it.

 

[socaldart]

adding little more to the cage

 

[socaldart]

time for new coil over QA1

 

[Dorian]

your going to need a few more bars for your cage to meet NHRA requirements. Door bar and dash bar for starts. Also by the looks of your pics a main hoop support going to the frame rails.

Should be a great ride when your done!

 

[socaldart]

getting rid of motor plates and making motor mounts

 

[socaldart]

now time for some safety hoops and some extra tubes inside

super cool! That driveshaft tunnel looks like something out of a P-39. And to think I ran a 451 with nothing but streetmaster motor mounts! (although I was a little traction challenged)
