* Full US Cartool Chassis stiffening kit.
have their frame connectors and torque boxes. Haven't decided on the other front end pieces yet.
* Run a 5 or 6 speed and 4.10's
Hemi 4-speed and probably a 3.54 gear. Motor is cammed for bottom end.
* Keep the car up off the ground enough so it can be driven on the open road at speed.
Yeah - nothing done to lower the car substantially. Stock style front end. Caltracs out back.
* Make sure it can run on pump premium with a larger than stock fuel tank.
Stock style EFI tank.
* Run Nitto Drag Radials out back and at least a 149mph rated front tire. (you won't be as nervous when you stretch it up over 150mph on occasion.)
Good tip - wheel/tire combo to be determined BUT will NOT be running big rims with rubber band tires - I like the look of a big tire wall on these older cars
*spend a bit more now instead of regretting saving a few bucks here and there.
For the past ten years of building the motor, trans and accumulating parts I have not cut corners (other than the 440Source stroker kit - which I have complete faith in). Money is no object. Wasted enough and got ripped off enough in the past. That's one reason its taken so long, seeking out the right qualified people to do the work I can't. This won't be a million dollar trailer queen but it won't be a cobbled together piece of crap either.
