California Dreaming

Yesterday,I had a real good day getting the hood sanded to bare metal,preped and primered.

So today I decided to travel back to my storage and dial in the suspension.I could not believe what I have discovered.I feel really good,if fact,I feel great! These next few pics I throw up will give you an idea how low this baby sits now. Right now we are at a 52/48. If I let the the rearend sit an inch lower will give it a 50/50 stance.Sit them down low to knock down lap times.

last step to feeding the beast

So yesterday I was bored,took a trip to Lowes and grab a 8"x18" 16g plate steel and decided to make mounting plate to house fuel pump and filter.Here is a start,and I will add pictures as I finish with the fab work.Did this in the front yard with simple hand tools.

feeding hunger

Got back to gas line feed and have most of it licked. There is 4 pieces of 1/2" hard lines that make up the run from engine compartment to the rear where the pump will be mounted next to filter.Took my mock up pieces,tweeked them a bit added sleeves and nut and made all my flares.As it stands I need a coupling in the engine compartment and a union at the end towards pump.

Unbreakable

I scored this third member from a race team for $750.It's has the goods,locker, Richmond gears 4.00:1 ratio,ARP fasteners and new bearings.After building a drive shaft that can handle this engine I was forced to go back over the third member and change out yoke for 1350 U joint.I had this billit yoke installed and reset-up the gears.Here's my 31 spline axcles with bearings installed and 3"threaded studs.Hurst shifter and radiator after i took apart to polish it out.

The Vision

It started off simple by lowering front Hooker Super Comp. headers flow master and TCI 10 2500 stall.She was fast,but then back then the 4V clevelands were fast anyhow.Well,could'nt stand the way it handle and stopped and wanted more power!So started gathering info. and parts.Found another set of 4V heads.I went to my fav.
