Thank you!

Right now I'm doing me lease favorite thing in drag racing....... staging for a national event. What a waste of a beautiful 4th!!

Upon further inspection I'm not sure where the stockers gonna fit!!

Ok... enough sulking about the new dragster motor, I’ll get into this later but for now it’s time to get back on this stocker.

For what it's worth. -Al

So after some back and forth we decided to give Alan’s idea I shot rather than a “technical tap” on the header. We took about a 1/8 of the bosses and looks like I’ve got plenty clearance even with the header gasket.

Some needed stuff also arrived.
RobbMC starter and battery cables to finish out the wiring

Glad it worked out. I did it for clearance on #7 and the box. -Al

Time for a little update....

Once the car was on the ground I felt the seat brackets I made had me sitting a little high. I ended up with these from Rhodes race cars. Much more comfortable and still bolt in stock location.

Plumbing and wiring is just about finished up under the hood.

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!!!

Figured time for a update.

1st off a huge thanks to Glen Sanders. Not only are his rims a thing of art his customer service it top notch!

My original plan was to use the newer style willwood master cylinder. I also wanted to use the bickel brake rod retainer but it turns out they won’t work together.

I decided to just use the Mopar style, I didn’t really want to open and elongate the mounting holes so I found this trick adapter from TRZ Motorsports.

The hole was 5 thou small for the Bickel kit, a little sanding and it fits together perfect.
