But that deal looks dead wrong leaving little room for separation........... 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

I'm going to say it's more of bowling the rear spring..then shock control.. as the rearing end rotates it pulls the rear spring forward... you might be okay but it will be close that's why most guys put it further back... I would say put white grease on the track where the rollers roll take it out and test it. .🖒 In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb
