Upgrade center section from 741 case with 3.91's to 742 with 4.30's, green axle bearings, new slicks, new front rims and tires (skinny 15" rallies with front runners), and try to figure out my Barry Grant 750. Looking to drop my 12.67 to a 12.00.

Got a healthy start on winter work (see pic) also fix tranny and send intake to w5dart66 for some rework after the first of the year.

so you going to drop about ??? 5-6,000.00 ??

got it like that ! ! !

i say buy an aftermarket block..

Run the cage out the front, take out the t bars
put a coil over front shock
Tubular upper and lower arms
lot of weight off the front and cheaper than 3500.00

better headers

Beadlocks really not necessary and honestly people will cry about them..LOL at least the people you are looking to race.

Good luck this year

You can buy a Strange strut and brakes for 2K but
of course you need the chassis

1. Reassemble my 452 in time for when the tracks open up in the spring. I'm making a few changes -- although nothing I'd consider major -- to the combination and am anxious to see the results.

2. Start finishing all the "mini projects" required to begin the assembly of the new 448 w/ the CNC Victors and street roller. If that comes together quickly enough, swap it for the 452 before 2011 is over in time to run some back-to-back tests.

What's wrong with the headers that you have?
You don't need bead locks.
Maybe some wheelie bars????????
Na,maybe a titanium oil pan.

Get my car back together instead of in a pile of pieces. Want to see my 440, 4-sp and supercharger in there so I can hit the track this summer.

No, all I have is a set of cut to fit 3/8 ball and cup
that I keep in the trailer in case someone needs a
push rod at the track... all the rest of my stuff is
ball and ball pre-made
