Oh. Drag racing. At first when you said "track car" I thought you meant "dirt track car" and that put me off a little. Especially since this Monte's body is still so straight. I feel a lot better about this thread now. :lol:

Box the control arms, and build subframe connectors. You should also move the 'eyes' on the top of diff, where the upper control arms connect, up a couple of inches. There is formula, your local chassis shop will know.
You'll have to change gears, too. I don't think you want to run 36" tall tires!
28 spline should be fine for the times you are looking for. I run 31 spline, but I am using the factory axles, too. (shortened)
I would also go all poly-graphite for the bushings, in fact, I did!

4.11 is fine, just need to run 28" tall (or so) tire. I run 3.70s with 26x10.5"" slicks.
Our '68 Nova SS runs 4.56 with 32" x 15" slicks.
We've been running 32"x16" on the '27 roadster, with 4.56s.
Not sure what you would wan to use with the 4.88s probably 34"?

Actually, it isn't a full-frame car, it has pseudo full-frame.
If you look underneath you will see that there is a front and rear subframe connected by a partial frame in the center. You can either fabricate or buy connectors that bolt through the front and rear frames and stitch weld to the 'psuedo' center section of the frame.
If your running in the 10's you should know this...
Nope, it is considered a full frame car.
You may be getting confused since the center section of the frame is not boxed.
Even early A-bodys ( GTO. Chevelle , etc.) weren't boxed unless you order a HD frame or had a convertible.
The frame on the Cutlass below is a stock frame. It does have a roll bar.
Check some of my posts , look under F41 , I know abit about these cars. :wink:

What width slicks will fit inside the wheel wells and also not rub frame. Would 10.5s work? Ended up with wrong rims so I can't test mine
Also saw your post shotgun

are the rad x, under the hood x and jounce/gp bars necessary
