A 540 huh. I'm afraid I just can't let you do that. As I'm only running a 496, why don't you building a 327 instead

dual turbo 327????

El Camino huh? At least you'll have a lot of room back there? Whose frame rails are those?

i still remember your article on that in national dragster.

rear gears are 456 and tires are rear 32x14x15 frt 27 x4.5x15

Sound like a pretty healthy set up there. What are your goals et wise?

that depends on $$$ for the motor low nines

other places but this is where i have gotten mine

Ok I need to know, what's the difference between aircraft shoulder bolts and shoulder bolts that are grade 5 or 8?

imo aircraft bolts have a better shoulder ,also closer tolorances.
and they are stronger than a grade eight bolt. also i'd never use a grade 5 bolt for a suspension bolt.

Thanks
