Just thought I would post up a quick picture of my newest project.
(IMG:http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh87/camaroz1985/914/PIC-0088.jpg) Its a '75 that I will be building for the $2009 Challenge. There is no engine now, and I am still trying to figure out what I will be using. I think about 200hp should be good enough if I can keep the weight down. I figure I have about $750 for engine and cooling system (or preferably a parts car that I can get everything from). What do you guys think? What are my best options? Who has cheap parts they want to sell to help the cause (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll update this as I progress. |

Nascar bars show up on ebay all the time, you can get a beefy front for under $100 full roller bearings and mono ball joints etc. You just need fab skills. I have 150 in both my front and rear bar. The post on how I built them is in hte paddock, and well, they work just great. Farmer parts are your friend. Springs go with 2.5" or 2.25" units and modif you spring pearches. You can get them new for $30 - 50 a pop.
You will want a set of cheap BOGE shocks, hydralic units ,and swap them in before hte drag race portion. Saggy stocks springs are your friends also. Don't forget a second set of wheels and tires for hte drags. Narrow fronts 135, hard as a rock, and wide fat stickes out back with a soft side wall. |
