We dyno'd some big cubic inch engs and well... you just have to be there to know the feeling.

Diggin the rendering Dave. As you said, sure helps in visualizing the final outcome. Looking forward to seeing it come together soon.

Thanks!

Had a great weekend. Went to the NASA event at Sonoma Raceway (formerly Sears Point/Infineon -- Happy, Greg?) and hung out with the Life's Good Racing team who field an awesomely quick 69 Camaro that is well known around here. Got some great ideas from that car and talked with the team quite a bit. The car is relatively simple other than the Lateral Dynamics 3 link in there.

Then today Rich and I pulled all the suspension out and got it on the body cart he put together.

Gotta take a step back to take 2 steps forward. Or something like that.



Should have some updates this week on engine, and should take delivery of the floater rear and spoilers from Jake.

It's yours buddy.

Received another NASCAR part today... Somewhat experimental (for me, not the part itself). I have always wanted to try a locker and now I will do so. Who knows, I may really like it. If not, I'll swap in a Tru Trac.

This is a Roush Yates Detroit Locker Cup Car take out.

Nodular case
3.25 big bearing
Daytona pinion support
3.64 gear ratio (the ratio I was looking for)
Gears REM polished
Gears scalloped/lightened
G-Force internal pump
1350 billet yoke

All this for under $1000 shipped to my door. And looks to be in excellent condition.



This 3.64 rear with my T101A trans will put me around 67-70mph top speed in 1st gear and 150-160 mph in 4th, depending on final redline of motor (figuring 7200-7500).

Also, the Fab53 "Chain Saw" tow hook was a little worn and has been blasted and will be cleared before reinstall.



Got a pallet on its way from Jake.... pretty stoked for what's coming.

Hope that locker works out for you

I think you did good with the buy on this third member.. If locker does not work then you can swap posi unit... I have one of these units on order..

Dave - What are the performance traits of the Locker that could be a negative in your application?
