1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

Sounds like a great plan...I need to look into a pan also.

why such small fronts?
i checked the nitto site and thats a 24.4" tire thats really short for a muscle car... what about the 255s there .5 tall and .5 wider, can you run that width of a tire on the front of your car? with a 235/315 setup the car might push a bit since the size difference is so big.

yeah Mike, after "Trackday" on the PT forum basically grenaded his SBC after 1 track day, I decided this was a priority.

Ya know, you're right on that. I never checked the height differences. With the front suspension mods, I am pretty sure the 255s should fit then. Nice call.

Hey, I need a crew chief.. interested?

Ah........ deja vu all over again........

Nice score on the radiator setup Dave.

As much as I love the current stance of the car, you could come up a little in the front to lessen the number of ant's you decapitate going down the road! Not to mention less chance of more oil pan/scattershield damage

Sounds awesome Dave. Good deal on the BE COOL radiator.
Good luck at RTTC. Have fun man!

My guess as to why it has 235's now is due to the low front ride height. I'd make both changes at the same time.

So how do you like the 377 ? Im about ready to break the bank on one for me .
Nt01s will wear pretty quik ...

Sounds like a good plan from the Iceman.

The 377 is a pretty fun motor so far. It's got such a monster cam that its not very torquey down low, and doesnt really start pulling really hard til about 5k. But it revs hard to 7k where I have the rev limiter set at now. I don't know the full history on the motor but I've been driving it pretty hard and it's doing well so far.

What is your intended purpose and car? No one seems to build these anymore -- it's all about maximizing cubes these days.

Dave, where can I find info on this event...? I don't see anything on this site
