Will it need to go lower to utilize that whirligig thing;)?
Cool!
:hail:

Right now the CR is 9.7:1 which will obviously not work too well on pump...haha. BUT I got my eye on a set of Aluminum heads that should drop the compression significantly enough to get away with Pump Gas...we shall see.

:faint:

Finally have a little bit of an update.

I have the engine compartment nice and cleaned up but made some more changes today so I have to redo a couple things...NO BIG DEAL because I am now closer to realizing the concept I was originally after.

Today I purchased a full BMR Fabrication Suspension Kit from Fletcher's Customs...thanks Chad!!! I am planning on a ton of street driving with this thing so this felt like an affordable good start for me. I did not want to put a roll bar in this car, so my '84 Cutlass (originally a drag car) is what will get the turbo and a full SC&C suspension. If you have never talked to Marcus at SC&C...do it! He will educate you without making you feel too stupid. :bow: :bow:

Anyway, here's what the kit looks like! I subbed in the adjustable rear uppers.

Thanks man...looking forward to getting the goods....should be here like Tuesday or so of next week. Going to start yanking apart the original suspension now so that it is cleaned up and read to rock when the new stuff shows up! :thumbsup:

Compromises must be made when making a car that you can live with for many happy road miles.
I understand not wanting to cage a street car, I don't want to do that to my car either.... well not 'this' one anyway.;)
