Can you list the mechanics of this car? Engine & details, converter/tranny, and gears? I know you've done some workWould like to be in the 8's but we will see.
Should be a runner !!!351w shortblock out of a van, 9.9:1 cr, cast iron speedmaster heads 1.94 intake, 1.6 exhaust, 58cc swirl combustion chambers. 185cc intake runners, .488 lift [email protected] 112*cl (b303)cam, chineesium rpm knockoff intake. Headers are still inbound, Paradox mufflers, 2.5 exhaust. C6 auto with PTC 10" converter, 3200-3500 stall. Was going to swap to the 9" but out of time so 8" with 2.9:1 highway gears and another 3rd member with spool and 4.62:1 gears for track. 275 60 r15 drag radials, caltracs, double adjustable Viking shocks. Street demon carb with polymer body, pertronix ignitor in a stock dizzy. Blake from Bad Tree is bringing the extra 3rd member down for me from Iowa.

I'm impressed. Those gears should make a lot of difference.351w shortblock out of a van, 9.9:1 cr, cast iron speedmaster heads 1.94 intake, 1.6 exhaust, 58cc swirl combustion chambers. 185cc intake runners, .488 lift [email protected] 112*cl (b303)cam, chineesium rpm knockoff intake.

That's awesome. You're gonna make it.I'm at 443 subs at the moment. Rooting for Cley and Sam as well.
I screwed up on the spring perch measurement on the 9" so I dont get to use the 4.71:1's on the spool.I'm impressed. Those gears should make a lot of difference.
The 4.62s should be sufficient. My 4.11s will be here tomorrow for the 9" going in Vixen. That should be just right when I do the T5 swap. It'll have a 2.79 final ratio in OD.I screwed up on the spring perch measurement on the 9" so I dont get to use the 4.71:1's on the spool.
Should be good with the 28" tall drag radials for sure.The 4.62s should be sufficient. My 4.11s will be here tomorrow for the 9" going in Vixen. That should be just right when I do the T5 swap. It'll have a 2.79 final ratio in OD.
I would certainly think so. Might even be a tad tall, but I'd run them and see. I think with the extra cubes of the 351, that will make up for it.Should be good with the 28" tall drag radials for sure.
other option is 26" tallI would certainly think so. Might even be a tad tall, but I'd run them and see. I think with the extra cubes of the 351, that will make up for it.
lol there is a longer wait for the 26" vs the 28'sYou could always take both.
Unnerstood. Things ain't like they used to be.lol there is a longer wait for the 26" vs the 28's
I'll be there, eveif I don't get my 500 subs! That is as long as my passport gets here in time!
