Even new spindles and disc brakes might not clear the 35 wires properly thus requiring another spacer which puts you right back where your are now...
Is there some sort of spacer between the hub and the wheel to get it to clear the disc setup? It looks like there might be. Sometimes on 35...
Try this on for size. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=PRM%2D19115&N=700+400006+4294838842+115&autoview=sku...
Radius rods usually have quite a bit more rotational give in them so they can be used with tube axles and urethane adjusters without as much fear...
The A frame is a fine idea usually but in this case by the time you box, brace, and modify it to accomodate the huge motor and tiny body you've...
You can get a little "free" twist in the system when using good tie-rod ends that don't stress the other components too much but even there a...
Pitch the genny frame on the scrap pile, build one out of 2X4 tube, use a mid to late 40s spring and axle on the front end, and cross-brace the...
That Dodge may be a little OT for the thread but Jesu H. Christe is that ever one incredibly sweet looking little piece.
Bonesplitting almost always required when not using genny drivetrains. Keeping the wishbone intact with the use of say an SBC has been done but...
Regardless of what one thinks of that Cosworth powertrain the incredible attention to detail, both in the restoration and fabrication areas of...
You could just "drop in a $50 running SBC" in there but it's not likely to be any less work than installing the Focus motor. Either way you gotta...
I've heard that the vacuum booster thing has been done several different ways. Inquire over on the forum at Ahooga.com. Rigging up a vacuum...
I think they are slightly down on power & torque with propane but only a tick. As far as its torque curve goes it is not only flat but it peaks...
I or someone else may have mentioned this in the early days of this thread but I'd like to put a plug in for the GM 3000 industrial engine. It's...
I'm not sure it would bolt up to the 223 but Ford did make a tranny that came in mid 80s trucks that's well suited to rods. It's the T-170 which...
Currently in the inactive street rod reserve here in Topeka
Blackjack with so many leaves yanked out and reversed eyes on the spring how close is your axle to the frame and also how close is your...
I suppose this is inconsequential since no one has mentioned it but isn't the correct term pound-foot instead of foot-pound? I know foot-pound...
I'll say. Looks like 10 degrees or more in there. No wonder it has power steering. Also it looks like it might be riding somewhat higher than...
Brent forgot to mention it 'cuz he's a bucks-up kinda guy but the 3.27 gearset will run you a cool five hundred bucks.

Not to discourage anyone from showing up but Lucky's Fun Run is this Sunday in College Station. Last year it was an excellent turnout with a...
I wonder why the boy is so happy after that hot lap? Did he set a class course record or something or is it just that much damn fun smoking...
Ring gear on this side of the pond but crown gear is more evocative of, well, you know. Small wonder the thing is that speedy. It must be a...
Reminds me a bit of an Elva Courier.
Yup: http://www.rentalcar-newzealand.com/tedsbits/index.htm Heard nothing but good about them on the Ahooga board. Some do say that it's...
Do you plan on keeping the whole original drivetrain? If so then refurbishing and/or rebuilding all the genny pieces may well be as expensive and...
League City is still going on, very spotty by all reports though. Deer Park, just east of 'dena, might be worthy of consideration. Much...
If you could scare up a Dana 44 you can get gears from Motive Gear as low as 5.38. Heavier for sure but probably bulletproof and it's a Chrysler...
