Quit it you guys !!! Your going to jinx us !!! Well I learned everything I do from my Pops !! He used to build pro street cars in about 3 weeks from pretty much scratch , to have them ready for a car show that would be coming up SOON !!! Don't let the few months fool you !! I have a ton of hours in this car , just ask my wife and kids !!! I think they are still here somewhere !!!! I do need a little help though ? What gears should we take along ? 5500 rpm's max with a 32" tall tire !!! We are running a 9" ford , just to stay away from the 10 or 15% hp. loss from a quick change . We are going to start out with a 260 ratio . And we will be taking a few other pigs just in case my head is not on right !!! My motto is " TO GET SOMETHING DONE YOU MUST FIRST DO SOMETHING !!! "
