The bird is back together. The motor is in and ready to start this weekend. The front sway bar is on, The rebuilt 10bolt w/posi 3.55 gears is installed w/ new Hotchkis springs and Russel brake line.
I changed my mind on a few things. I have decided to run Cal-trac bars, ordered a low profile set today, should have them on this weekend. I'm planning on running this car in the NHRA summit series at barona next year. but don't thinks it's drag only I still want this thing to handle and ride good. I know it will take some compromise and some work . I have some ideas and i'll share them as I try them out.
Currently running stock Pontiac v8 front springs the height is perfect now. But because i have never driven this car I want to see how they feel before i run out and by stiffer springs. Have new 235/60-15s on iroc 15x7 all around. Plan to upgrade to 245/50-15 pilots front/rear on 15x8 pontiac ralleys and 275/50-15 bfg drag radials in the back at the drags.
for brakes the plan now is for 12inch rotors all around with wilwood 6/4 piston calipers, w/dual master Cylinders, still reserching this and will be awhile before it's done
Should have the time to take some pics this weekend i'll post them later.
