speedway straight axle hight of frame

how high off the ground is the bottom of the frame rail on the speedway gasser kit

 

what size tire, how heavy is your motor? there are things that can change it.

 

i just need a ball park # i weant to jack a car up and look to see if i want to go that way or not

 

How long is a rope?

 

What kind of car? I'm sure there is pictures on here of guys using those kits that should give you a pretty close measurement by looking at their front tire size.

 

Car? Frame? Tires?
WTF?

 

Just long enough to hang yourself.

 

Maybe the distance from the axle to the frame would help, and the spring rate to estimate how much they would compress with any given engine?

 

Speedway says axle centerline will be 10" from the frame bottom and will compress 1-3" depending on weight of the car. Spring rate is 400lbs/inch.

Figure a 15" tire on the skinny side will be about 26-27".

 

You could fool around with spring mounting locations and go lower or higher.

 

im thinking i will make my 58 rambler american into a gasser its tubbed with a full frame now i just wanted a ball park # from the bottom of the frame to the ground so i can put it on jack stands and check out how it would look its a sbc with 165 15 on it now i dont have a kit yet i want to see how it would look before getting out the tourches and the credit card

 

not mine.....

 

anyone

 

we do a lot of them, with a straight axle not dropped and on new frame rails on a tri 5 chevy with a 26 inch tire and a big block is around 14 inches at the bottom of the rocker in front of the door. with a 4 inch drop it ends up about 11 or so inches...

 

^^^ Thats good. Ha Ha Ha
