m going to go with the strut front end, due to the way the midsize fairlanes were desgined.
http://www.fatmanfab.com/catalogpage.php?page=37Keeps the body correctly stressed as factory designed. Build some subframe connectors, since this is a unibody car. Then with the roll cage it should be more than stiff enough to handle what I need to do.
Odering the rule book this week, then will figure out how to go with the motor.
Will use a main bearing girdle over four bolt mains, not going to have this one walk and split the block.
I have races 1/8 mile a lot AHRA , dirt track and driven wide open throttle on the Autobahns of Germany, I loved living 20 miles from post and getting there in 12 minutes and that included driving through town.
Nothing like running down the road ! 135 mph and asking the kids to hand you a coke!!! then having your buddy pass you and he was driving a stinking Renault wagon.
Had the opportunity to take a state cop car for a test drive and showed the cops how fast it will run.
So yep I have the speed bug, just this time doing it for a record in this car!
Meet Jimmie Norcross this weekend he runs Bonneville in A Dodge Dakota (red) with a 240 motor and we had a long talk about this.
I dont trip over my pockets and already know "speed cost how fast can you afford to drive" is the motto!
I appreciate any and all help. I do like the idea fo the classic run and at under 108 MPH I think I can do that.
Thx Meteor man.
