Set up ride heights at 3 3/4 front and 4 inch rear four link 45 inch out and 6 1/2 up. Finished plumbing vacuum pump and installed delay box and starting line enhancer and put on headers. Not sure I will finish this summer but chipping away at it. Can some one recommend a reasonably economical flare tool for AN brake lines 17 degrees.

With front clip on, wheel base is stretched to 110. Regret not making the the front spoiler another 1 inch lower.

you can not double flare stainless .Just use collars and nuts with a single flare..

this is a very good flaring tool. I have it and it works awesome. it is not recommended for stainless. I use aluminum line for everything.

for stainless, u should use the imperial 400-F, which is about $350.

you may be able to use the rigid 377, ($125) for stainless, but isnt designed for it.

We just did all stainless 37 degree an brake lines on our car. Dont waste your money on the flaring tool from Jegs or Summit. We tried them and the suck on stainless. We ended up using this one. http://www.amazon.com/Ridgid-41162-Flaring-Tool-Degrees/sim/B0002DOUFQ/2

I bought one from Parker Hanakin years ago for using on my airplane, I have never treid it on Stainless lines though I does a great job on both hard and regular alumimin lines 1/8 (#2) inch to 5/8(#10)

I ruined a 3/16 die double flaring stainless brake line on my Mastercool kit. At least the new die was cheap. I tried annealing the ends of the SS line which helped a bit but it was still too hard in the long run.

I've switched to copper/nickel brake line as it looks great, doesn't rust and best of all does double flairs and seals like buttah.

thanks, I will pick up the Rigid flaring tool for making up the lines.

I will try to get some pictures of the set back and mounting of the motor but it is really typical for any chassis car
