Next season I plan on taking this car out and I have some questions about my setup and consistency.
Here’s the info
Engine
454 .30 over, stock stroke flat top pistons fresh rebuild. 781 ported flowed flowed heads comp valvetrain. .630 bullet racing flat tappet cam.
750 quick fuel alcohol carb
Transmission
Turbo spline powerglide with TCI 254013 converter. Transbrake
Ignition
All MSD 7al2 box
Rear end
Quick performance 9 inch with 3.80 gears
10 inch tire. Morison springs and drag bags.
Car
All steel except hood
Racing seats up front keeping back seat
8 point cage
All glass
Any info I need to provide to make this better just tell.
Any advice definitely welcome!
So my questions are with so much weight being up front will I have any traction issues?
Recommendations for shocks rear and springs front and maybe rear. I’ve heard v6 springs and stock shocks on front are best because they help weight transfer.
What kind of spark plug to run with alcohol?
Will my 3.80 gear work okay with my current combination?
I think that’s all I have now. Car built with me in college working part time and buying and selling cars. It’s all the best parts I could afford/ leftovers from father. Thank you.
