bitchin'

 

I hate to say it, but I'd love to see what it would look like when lowered a bit.

 

From one Davy Boat-tail owner to another. Very nice car! What stall converter do you have in the car?

 

shorty headers, full length or stock exh?

 

Thanks for the nice comments
Jeff hope your bringing your A-game to Salem I think I finaly have enough motor for you. :laugh:

Kimson hope to lower the front about 2 inches after I get the bugs out of new motor. :Brow:

Davy I have 2600 stall converter.
Ken full headers 2 1/2 X-pipe into long case magna flows. :3gears:

 

You are going to have to let us know what your new 1/4mile time is now that the engine is done. Also interested in knowing what all your modifications and specs are other than the exhaust? I hope to get mine to the track later this summer after I fine tune a few more things. Oh and let me know how you plan on lowering your front end 2in because I need to do the same. I've been having trouble figureing out the best way to do it on our model of car. Davy

 

Using a cutoff wheel (kept cool with liberal douses of water) and NOT a torch, just lop off the bottom complete coil from each spring.

 

Shouldn't you change the shocks then, or the standard ones have enough range to "play" at a lower level ?

 

I heard that this was a option and am still considering it. I also heard from a few other people that it isn't recomended because you will never know for sure how much drop you will get.
