What year engine you trying to do this with? Is / Was this engine a " roller motor " to begin with? Thing about rollers that I was always told is that they spin up faster than old school slugs. But I agree you put slugs with slugs and rollers with rollers.
Got a buddy that bought the car back that I originally bought off him. He's surprised me by doing quite a bit of work on it. I first heard that he wanted to put a 9" ford under it. He doesn't have that much power in it now. He's wanting a lower gear. So I'm trying to help him find a good used...
Agreed same " Brake backing plates " 8 3/4 does have the same brake backing plates. With that being said and if you pay attention you can have disc brakes back there.
I whole hardly disagree. I ran many of these cars in demolition derbys and it isn't that hard . What's the major issue? cutting the driveshaft down to fit. The springs are almost a a perfect match outside the certering pin. Replace with O.E. 8 3/4 problem solved.
I,,,,,,,, wished I had " never " sent the 1 I had to the junkyard , bad car wreck. I,,,,,,,,,,,, " wished I could find / had another 1. Badly. Great thread . Keep it going!
