How much quicker are you anticipating all of these changes/improvements are going to make?

Looks great Alan - You have the calipers I probably should have went with on ours. One thing I found on those fronts is only tighten the bearing caps with two fingers. Even with grease on the o-rings I thought my partner was going to take a hammer to the car trying to remove them one night...maddest I've ever seen the fellow lol!

Al,
Looks really nice and should be effective. With all the weight reduction you might consider a weight box? :-)

FYI: A little late now but a road racing trick is to radius all the holes in the rotor on both sides. This doesn't affect braking but will lengthen brake pad life considerably.

Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you/ it at the races this year.

Be safe

Jim Parsons

Al, looks good! One thing I would suggest to anyone working on the front end of a GM car would be to add the Afco lower shock mount kit when you have the lower control arm off. Then you have the ability to use the Afco style shock more effectively. http://www.afcoracing.com/graphics/c...hock_mount.jpg

Fat Man and Little Boy.....for those that remember their nuclear history. It was real hard not to put the hoist on that 396/375 Super Stock motor (grin):



It's been so long since its been on all fours and with an engine in the frame, the poor thing damn near rolled out of the shop on its own!
