I droped my motor off at our machine shop to have them roll some bearings in and check it over.

I do heating and cooling for a living and I would recomend the Modine Hot dawg. Its what we have on our garage and it works great even in really cold climates I have the 40,000 BTU unit to heat our uninsulated 28x 36 garage.

What do I need to look out for on the 8.50 cert. I thought you just needed to have a 8pt cage, but thats why I want the detailed book. I bought the roll bar to cage conversion w/ a dash bar.

Ive heard that you should never do a low gear brn out with all gm tranny's . Any truth to that? Hughes told me to start in high gear with my glide I bought from them.

Winston or Cooper 275x15. I dont care who you are thats funny. I tried to race my 55 chev with its 305/50/15 coopers street tires instead of its BFG 235/60 drag radials. Couldnt go strait with the coopers and never spun the BFG's. So with 500hp Id go for the Winstons. :lol:

These other guys can help with the suspension questions, but my buddy has those rockett racing heads on his 455 olds in a 78 firebird that he says weighs 3600 lbs and it runs low 11's in the bad air here in montana. So those heads should help.
