All the suspension build has been done with the advice and input of Mark Savitske. When the final assembly/ride height is done he will have me calling him again for the set up specs etc. For the most part I have it under control. (I think lol)

I got the intercooler back yesterday with the inlet tube moved to create room for the new radiator. Hopefully I'll see that in the next week or so. :)

You have an absolute monster in the making. Do you think you will have traction issues on the street? Or will you cruise on the streets and only go WOT on the track?

I had a lowly Procharged 355 SBC in my street car and so much time was spent at 1/4 throttle 1000 - 2500rpm my calf ached..... I could just about stay out of wheel spin when racing others and that was with 315/35/17 MT DRs on 11" rims.

I figure you will have maybe 600lbs of torque just off idle. It's going to be a handful but definitely fun....

Killer build!!https://lateral-g.net/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif

I was hoping I could just finesse it :_paranoid
I doubt I will be just stomping on it like I used to be able to, and thats what I wanted. I wanted a motor that had a little more then I could use and I would drive it at the best the car could handle. (or I can handle)

Wow!!!

So here is one of my few updates. I came up with this gizmo to tie the sway bar to the lower control arm. Its just in loosely right now and the actual bolts and spacers may change, but this gives me quite a bit of adjustment because the link can also go on the other side of the tab. It also keeps a full range of turning for the wheels in that limited space. Hopefully it works ok.

I also got my custom double pass rad from Ron Davis, with dual spal fans.
