    1.6 rockers with this combo?

    My engine builder says I have the clearance, and I have a set of 1.6 roller rockers laying around. So is there any downside in going with 1.6 ratio with my combination? Car is street/strip with emphasis towards strip. Also if you have any predictions on this combo love to hear them! 360 La...

    QA1 level 2 suspension kit: 67 Cuda.

    67 Barracuda project

    Started off thinking about putting fancy 4 link systems like qa1 or street lynx in the rear and maybe Gerst suspension up front. But now I think I would like to just keep the stock suspension just with upgraded items from Hotchkis or something. I'm wanting a street strip car prbly focusing on...
