Hey everyone, I had a couple of questions regarding some modifications I plan to make on my 67 dart drag car build. I plan to install a leaf relocation and mini tub in the rear to fit a larger tire but I’ve seen mixed information on how much to shorten the axle and the best wheel and tire combo to stuff under the rear. I’ve read a lot of discussions on the topic but I wanted to ask you guys myself. I’m building this car for the 1/4 mile and I figured I might as well go all the way so what set up is everybody running on their car and what would you guys recommend?
If anyone’s interested in what I’m building here’s some info on the car so far. 1967 dart gt, 440 big block- forged crank, eagle H beam rods, sealed power forged dome pistons about 11:1 compression with the heads im running. 906 heads ported, bigger valves and shaved .040. Bullet cams custom grind 267/275 573/590 on a 108 lobe separation. Mopar intake, Wilson’s 2 inch spacer and a custom 850 DP carb from Dominic Thumper. Trans is a 727 freshly rebuilt with some upgrades and a shift kit. And an 8 3/4 rear 4.10 gear in a 489 housing. I’ll post a couple pictures with this thread of the project so far. Haven’t fired it up yet but it’s almost ready to fire.
