Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

grey area....I need to get some clarification before I can proceed as I am getting shot down on things that are already out there running and have been for years:confused:


gray a·re·a.

Did you trip on the crack between the rule book and the race track?

Hey Bill why not just go on with your build,and get it to the track and worry about the grey /gray area after it has been torn down, and if it does'nt make it thur put a single plane intake on it an run superstock.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

That is the plan, I have another cam already being ground for SS.

the whole exercise is to see how my knowledge stacks up against the rest and set records, and that would not get any respect if not done legally.

But.....wouldn't it be sweet to qualify well up in the pack in SS with a legal stocker :eek::eek::eek:

Front brake options...I thought I was going to use Strange but after much research on the subject it looks like they will be Lamb.

3300+ weight...... I am all ears.

suggestions?

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

Although they do not show a front brake system in their catalog, you should call Mark Williams. They also make a great front brake system.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

I think I recall Mark Williams having a set up as well when we were looking for a set for ours. Never got around to it though. They might have required a different spindle if memory serves me. Been a while.

I have Wilwoods on my '71. I used drum brake spindles since you had to butcher the disk brake spindle and I wanted to keep the OEMs. I went with what they then called "medium duty" which is a narrow vented rotor. The light duty are solid rotors and would probably be fine for drag racing. They work great, good price, good fit, no complaints. My car minimum weight was 3640.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

Bill, I did look at the Wilwoods, the drag race kit looks like it has an updated bracket that fits both drum and disc spindles (actually the bracket is a nice piece) and I have disc spindles

I am just wondering how much "finish line" abuse they would take.

To the other posters I like Mark Williams also, just have not made up my mind yet.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

The official response from NHRA is I am going to delete post #15 and replace with babbit, darn it!....and also....the paperwork says they are not legal in the control arms either:eek:

The heads passed with flying colors:D:D:D

Just cleaning up some of the grey area before I get there
