help me build my first race car
rip the interior out, except the dash. toss the front and back bumpers, hood and trunk lid out and replace with fiber glass. remove the door panels and take everything out that isn't needed including metal. the same with the quarters. 8 3/4" and rear gears will be 4.30-4.56 with a 29.5"x10.5" slick. move the springs inboard, mini tub and install ss springs. rebuild a 727 with a race kit and a manual valve body. use 8"-9" convertor. grab a set of 2" in the chassis headers. get a set of high compression pistons, a solid lifter cam and kit at least .600"+. home port the heads with the mp templets. port match intake and exhaust but don't take any off the exhaust floor. balance the motor. aluminum rocker gear. use a single plane intake like a tarancula(?) or one of the newer ones. a double pumper 850 holley. holley black fuel pump with #8 line from the fuel cell to pump and #6 line to the carb. all this will get you into the mid to low 11's easy with a 400+.060" block.
