Nice analysis and research, good reading and food for thought as ever.
Thanks.
Is there a timeframe for the ol' E body to come back out with the new bullet in it?
2018... or my family will find me swinging by a rope tied around my neck on New Years Eve 2019
Any changes anticipated to better accommodate the motor?
Replaced the 8.75" with a Strange S-60, and the S-60 has CalTrac's reinforced spring perches to take the hit off the line better
Went back to 22" front spring segments from the SS-spec 20" while staying w/ CalTracs and their mono-leaf springs
Switched from 8" to 10" rims to help spread the footprint of the 275/60R15 drag radials; also going with M&H radial "skinnies" up front that will lower the ride height of the car a tad
The Drag-Pack inspired hood mod gives me room for an air cleaner and at least some amount (1/2" or maybe 1") of carb spacer; I wasn't even sure the standard T/A scoop would fit a 3" air cleaner with the Victor heads & a tall intake like a Victor or Trick Flow
Maybe some other things that don't come to mind at the moment...
Probably need better rear dampers than my old Rancho 5-ways; a nice DA would help getting the rear suspension dialed in
