Yes. I already had the intake. So I have to install that........wire and plumb car, as well as make some setup changes on the chassis

Looks like a VERY merry Christmas. Nice!
What is the goal for ET? I try not to comment on what any of these cars actually run. But it's fast NOW and we intend it to be faster......LOL!!! The motor that was IN the car, was a 765......BUT, it was a 4.840 765. So just a ton of stroke, with a mediocre 4.840 head and 130lbs heavier than the 632 he just put in it, that has better heads and is a better all around combo. So power should be close, or even a little better, plus the weight loss and upcoming upgrades to EFI and better chassis setup

Are any of them using the pinion devise that some of the new Pro-Mod chassis have on them now?

"Pinion devise on chassis"...........have NO idea, unless he is referring to some of the newer yoke containment cans that mount on the center sections now I'd have to dig it up but saw a double wishbone set up on a car that was above and below the drive shaft..and attached to the pinion bearing plate....was a head scratcher. I kept thinking that thing has got to be A. heavy & B. A source of binding

Just so I'm sure - your garage is pink inside? That's not quite how I pictured it for some reason...
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

It's like a kicker shock to stabilize pinion angle under load, and to dampen issues connected with tire shake.
