Re: 24ft trailer

IMO you need a trailer with 5000 lb axles. By the time you get all the stuff in there that
you need to have you will be way over the max weight for that trailer for sure..

Re: Gun drilled axles

With the car at that weight IMO I would not go with a aluminum center as you will be lucky
if the gears will last a hundred runs. As for the axles 40 spline axles are just a little stronger
than solid 35 spine axles.

What can you do in your class?? Can you do any "bolt on fiberglass"

Re: block prep?

I agree with sc but would add that I would find a good standard bore block and go 030. going to 040 with the power you want to make it would be a concern. More cyd wall is a plus...You could also get the block you have and get it checked :shock: ...Just my 2 cents.....You want to build a motor that ...
