What Fred said
good descripton fred,
yes, guys....... thats the way it was done. for me and my 63 09 car it was..... no line loc, 4.88 gears, 8x29 M&H's, 2.20 low, 40 lb flywheel, floor it on the first amber, at the time the 5th amber came on, it was just passing 6000. sidestep the clutch, shift at 7200, thru the traps at 7000. 12.20s @ 114 what fun, cant wait for my new car to be finished.
for those of you who are nervous to dead rev an engine, Dont try dragboat racing. i have an aluminum rodded BB that will turn 8600 across the finish line. 7 seconds seems like an eternity at those rpms, and the engine is so close you can touch it.
(this engine is in my new 63) i have a G-Force clutchless 4 speed with 3.08 low, inline long shifter, aluminum flywheel, 4.57 9inch, 35splinespool 10.5 x 28 M&H's and a chromemoly rollcage. the white paint and lettering will resemble Sox & Martins "friendly chevrolet" Z11
i'm on it everyday but it will still take me to next year to complete.
I'm also sad to say that Ronnies health isnt so good these days and he want"s to see this car done.
Also sad that i wont be able to bring my 09 car to kansas. i wish i had someone to take the car there in my place.
