Whats up Bernie! Yea your right, I'm a little shy to post pictures of my car on here... stupid "drag racer" look. lol Its good to see a familiar person on here. :cheers:

No need to be shy about your car. It is really nice. I just read through the mag article. Nice work on getting it together on the budget!:cheers:

I have a '79 ElCo and just recently joined the site just like you. What size rim, tire, and backspacing are you running in the picture? I have 385 SBC, AFR 227 hears, T&D Shaft Rocker, Belt Drive, Zex 200 Shot, Ford 9", 6**/7** life solid roller, Art Carr 700R, 4:30's in the works and when I show 20" Boze wheels, and when I need to go ??? Not affraid to notch it to make'em fit so what's in the rear of yours and did you have to make any frame mods?:thumbsup:

Runup, I run a 15x8 pro convo with a 3.5" BS and a 28x10.5 MT slick. No notch frame...

but im in the process of notching my frame to fit bigger wheels. According to my calculations you should be able to fit a 12" wide tire once you notch the frame 1". I don't plan on lower my car anymore than it needs to be, but I guess you really don't know once the new wheels/tires are on the car. I've seen other Montes run 15x10 rims with a 29x10.5 slick with only a notch frame. :willy:

What stall do you plan to run? That 4.30 gear seems a bit too much if you plan to use the hose... unless its 1/8 mile racing?

3200 stall and its a top end friendly set up.
