Nice ride. That was crazy with the old lady. What is the weight of the car? I’ve been thinking about doing a stock 500 Caddy powered 86 Cutlass, but I like your body style better. I would be autocrossing too- what diameter bars do you use and are they stock? My engine would add 35 pounds up front and I would want stiffer springs and shocks to corner flatter. I’d also need to put in a Ford 9” rear with 2.43 or 2.73 highway gears because of the torque. Since you have autocrossed yours, what changes would you make if your engine made 550 lbs. torque @ 3400 RPMs and added 35 lbs. up front? Do you have room for wider wheels under the fender if you increase the positive offset?
