Project inprogress. Hope this helps others with ideas and I may have questions along the way.

A little street and strip car. Used to showcase some of our shops abilities. Great for summer activities at the strip or car show!

Stay tuned.

Demon plans.

Car started out as a Strip only car, but won't be hard to return to the street.

Ladder bar out back, sub-frames tied 6 point cage were already in it at purchase.

440 stroked to 512 is the plan. We are looking at the whole Crate Motor vs. Putting one together. Local machine shops all like Chevy's so we are looking for recommendations on the motor.

Cope Racing Transmission 727 with Gear Vendors overdrive.

Back Braced 8 3/4 rear, narrowed 3 inches, with 4:30 Gears.

Wheel wells mini-tubbed and quarter panels opened up to get 31.5in Dia. Tires under it out back.

4 wheel disc brakes. Willwoods up front with Dr. Diff's out back.

Dual EZ EFI throttle bodies.

Magnum Force Front end, Magnum's shock braces along with some thoughts we have have had for additional bracing.

I will look for some images of the car right after we got it

Thanks for your interest.

Welcome but, Is it a good idea to run the fuel lines by the trans and under the frame rail compared to the other side of the frame rail and thru it?
