    yup, looks like a 400, fantastic!!!! I'll have one of those behind my 455 in the spring :laugh: I would think somthing in the 3.23 area would be best if you still want some top end.

    yes its the center line of the car. the rear end is just thrown in there for pics but when its not there the plumb bobs show where i need to move the chassis in the shell to weld it together.

    Make sure you offset the axle housing for the third member. The yokes are offset on the center sections. I have one you can borrow for mock up if you want. Call me if your interested.

    I think you're just running into other limits in that upper part of the chart, aren't you? It's pretty linear down low.

    looking good. you should take some pics of the whole car not just sections of it. It would be neat to see it all tore apart and stuff. just a thought....

    as you were.
