Good luck with the car, your on the right track.

Just make nice soft launches with that 8" and it will live. If all goes right in the next few weeks I'll be posting over here allot........

This is what it will look like on the way to a 1.59 60'

I think the Vic Jr. will work fine on the street. I went with a W. Stealth because I could not fit the Vic under hood with the mounts I had. Deck height issue on the 351's. I know that some of the ford crate engines run the Vic jr, so they must not be anti street as people claim.

Forgot to mention that - The Vic JR with the TCP solid mounts I had won't clear a stock hood with the carb spacer, even with a drop filter. You can fit a smallish filter on it with a GT350 hood but it is tight.

If you pull the carb spacer it is still very very tight.......

Sad part - I sold my car to a buddy and he has done everything that I wanted to do to finish it, i.e. $8K in paint, flaming river R&P, disc brakes, 3800 stall and yes that XE286 cam.

Good part - My Saleen is on eBay for sale right now and when I sell it guess what, I'm buying my old car back, putting a new cage in it and shooting for high 10's.

In case anyone is interested - It's fast, but not like the old car.

Nice car...too bad it didn't sell. Are the new models taking their toll on resale of these?

Aw, just save up money, keep this one AND get yer classic back!

I have a few people interested in it right now, I'll make price concessions if I have to and if it doesn't sell........ I'm still going to buy the old one back, wife won't be happy but she'll get over it.
