I lowered the frame center section down another 1-3/4", so now I have a 2-5/8" delta in height from the main section and the rockers. That should net me around 5.5" clearance at the front of the rockers, 6-1/8" at the rear of the rockers. Still pretty low. Bummer is I would not have had to french the floor for the center section so I will now have to go back and fill all of that in
Nice thing tho' is there is more room for the torque tube and the high rise intake from raising the body up more, and it allows me a better way of putting the roll cage in but still being able to lift the body off. Engine should fit under the hood completely without cutting out hood bracing now, even with the tall filter.
Having a couple degrees of neg camber on the front for the track will help it all work out as well.
Next step pretty much is to pull the suspension out of the Porsche and start fitting it in here. I cut the inner fenderwells out of the rear today and I can see I need to go ahead and cut the rear subframe out of my way as well too, so I need to figure out some rear support for the trunk first. No way I can get that massive 13" wide tire back there with the subframe in the way
But I sort of want to hit the track in the 914 again, it was just too much fun last time out as usual. Been looking at C6 Vettes again but I need to finish a project before I start another
