Congrats on the new best Jim. Heck since moving to Vegas I sure miss those kind of DA days. OUt here 1900'DA would be killer air. BUt when it gets that low it is usually pretty cold.

Man I wish I had your 60 ft lol.


Besides the torque monster motor, the Torqueflite 727 transmission with the 3 speeds (std 2.45 first gear) gets the car moving even with my 4.10 gears and 31.8" tall tires and 3200+ race weight. But the chassis has to hook that starting line ratio too.

Yes, it is a ladder bar rear suspension with a simple back half. The front is a stock K member and frame, tied to the roll cage ofcourse.
