Thanks for these questions 273: I am looking to race low-key competitively - I want to throw down at our local track (Pacific Raceways)...but I am not quitting my day job or traveling more than a couple hundred miles. This is not an autocross rig - will be mixing it up on actual road course...

"I think you're approaching this from an obtuse angle." I could not agree with you more junkyardhero. The point of this effort is to try to get as close to 50/50 as possible (without relocating the engine too much). I want to keep the body as near as unmolested as I can get. Yes, there...

Hello, long time lurker - first time poster here. I'm looking for some small block stroker wisdom. I am building a track car out of a 72 cuda for 50% track days(twisties...not drag)/50% grocery getting/mopar events. I occasionally want to put the wife and kids in it so Im not planning on...
