Chassis shop
 

Im really looking for a alignment shop that knows how to align a car for dragracing, but it would be nice if they could scale the car and get us close on the suspenion setup, if anyone knows of a shop in the oklahoma city or tulsa area, Id appreciate the recommendation

Re: Chassis shop
 

Unfortunately some of the shops in my area won't do it or want to adjust to factory specs. Some will do race cars but you are at the mercy of their opinions on alignments, even if you think different. So I do my own on my garage floor.

Sorry, not from Ok. but my sister did live their. I live in Pottstown, PA., about 25 mi from Maple Grove Raceway. Not many AMC's here.

Re: Chassis shop
 

well its ok your not from oklahoma, your up there with adkins, and berry allen, and garrett ghezzi there all up that way i believe. what class do you race your amx in if you don't mind me asking?

Re: Chassis shop
 

Been racing NHRA Super Stock, SS/HA and SS/IA. The car is a 69 AMX, 390 ci single 4 bbl, Carter 525 cfm AFB, 3 speed auto and Dana 60 rear.

Re: Chassis shop
 

thats cool, we thought about doing the same thing with our 69 amx bracket car the chassis is there and will the top end would be close except our heads wouldn't be legal 291c's although being able to run the edelbrocks should help if they don't add to much wieght, it would be a matter of building a short deck 390 short block, and out of curiousity do they make you run the short deck motor in superstock or can you get away with a destroked 401 or a 70 390? and a carburator and bolting the origanel bumpers and hood back on. not trying to brake any records just have fun when divisionals come through

Re: Chassis shop
 

You could run the 1970 390 in your 69 car in SS/GT, or a 401. The 70 engine is rated more horsepower than the 69. The engine I race is a NHRA legal 69 390 ,as per the blueprint specs..I am happy when I run 3 to 4 tenths under the index, and I am constantly working to go quicker.
