Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I unbolted the rear end in the funnycar so that I could drop the back of the car further down. It's loose beneath the car right now and until I cut some brackets I can't bring it forward to center in the wheel wells yet.
In order to set the body back down I had to remove the carbs for windshield clearance. I didn't want to cut that Lexan until I was certain where it needed to be done.
I thought I'd see how far I could go and have dropped it 6" so far. I liked the look but dropping it this far is too much and won't work. My pinion height would be too high without raising the seat which I cannot do. I'll have to find a happy medium.
After I get the proper height set for the body again, I'll go back and modify the headers so that they're parallel and closer to the rocker panels. If I have to I may raise the back of the engine/transmission a bit to keep the driveshaft inline with the pinion location. - Once again, I can't go too far without having seat clearance problems.
