    Scat arp 2000 rod bolts

    I have never used the stretch to decide how torqued it should be. I was always to the understanding that the stretch was checked to make sure the bolt was not failing. hence why it says " Not to Exceed " and doesnt give a range of acceptable stretch.

    Tubs with stock frame rails

    If I remember correctly I had 28x13.5 Hoosier QTP's on my 72 dart with a spring relocation and the tubs widened to the frame rails. only trimmed the lip on the quarter panels. they did rub on the inner tub if you made a hard turn and any real speed.

    What rear suspension for bracket racing.

    i ran 10.50's with my big block on SS springs and a snubber, with install issues on the relocation kit ( self induced ). after i fixed the issues and installed a set of sliders, I bet it would have gone even faster. the car hooked like it never had before. maybe some day I will put that pile of...

    Spring sliders.

    3/4 back is a good place to start. I made a mounting plate for mine with multiple holes. that way if I was off or needed more I had it.

    Need roller lifters, mine are junk

    when I replace mine I will be looking at the MRL ones. I like the idea of the rollers being fed by oil pressure not just splash.

    indy block question

    Indy service & machine work Blows! go KB and never regret it. Indy should do us all a favor and sell all their stuff to someone who cares about the customer and the product they produce. that's my 2 cents..

    Motorplate-Solid engine mounts question

    I made a motor plate with a couple 1" poly bushings for my big block. the motor plate is nice with the big block and external oil pump pick up line. it gives you some extra room. I think it makes pulling the motor a little easier too.
