hey guys,
After being at the track today I finally got the kick in the butt ot finish my 67. Well before I race next weekend I would like to get the rear end done up with some new parts. Let me give you some background. This is a 75/25 % street/strip car. It has a 289 with 9.8:1, .496 lift and 224 deg duration at .050 (2000-6000 rpm range), ported heads, stealth intake, C4 with a 3000 edge racing convertor and long tube ceramic hooker headers. I want to cruise around town and 55-60 will be the highest mph on the street this will see. I run 245-60d15 Hoosier quick times at the track with shelby underriders. I want a car I have no problem jumping in and driving but I need some decent short times at the track. I was thinking 3.80 gears (I could be convinced of 3.55's), a Detroit Truetrac and a complete overhaul kit all in my 8 inch rear. Please let me know my noon Sunday so I can ordering the parts to get here by midweek so they can be installed for next Saturday!
