Purple car blew the head gasket in November in Vegas so top end is apart waiting for specific gaskets. Mine is getting rear shocks and plug wires and the grey dart is getting a new stroker small block mill. Should be done to test in January at Sacramento.

A couple things Al and jay make a good point on are Racepack and Converter. Until I can scratch up the extra doe I'm going to try simple stuff first.

They will work fine for most people. The one thing on a ladder bar car is you will want something that has stiff valving on the extension side for times when you are on a good track. We don't get a lot of that out here in the west from my experience on bracket days. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
