Thanks!
Thanks a lot. I think I am going to try to find a 12 bolt. My neighbor has a ford 9" that he might be willing to sell...SO MANY DECISIONS! (so little money). Also, I have drum brakes all the way around. I know I should get discs for the front but is it as big of a deal than everyone says it is?

It is really a good idea. Today's cars are lighter and have more braking power, which means that if someone in front of you driving a prius nails the brakes, you may wind up eating it because your 4000# sled with manual drums WILL NOT stop fast enough.

8.8?
What are your thoughts on a ford 8.8? I found one at a pretty good deal with 373's and a disc setup for the back. Is that rear end stocky enough?

I am currently running low 13's and am looking to break in to the high 12's.
69 350 block, 4-bolt mains bored 60 over, Comp cam XE268 just under 10 compression Summit cast iron heads 1.6/2.02 72cc, 165 intake heads have been worked and port matched to intake heads have comp roller rockers 1.6 Performer RPM Air Gap Holley 670SA or 750 Mallory Unilite ignition Headers, 2.5 inch pipes, 2-chamber muffler TH350 with B&M Transpack, 2400 stall convertor, launch at 2000 10-bolt with Eaton posi and 3.73 gears 26" slicks This is a daily driver, camper haulin, grandson totin race car. I know I can't have everything but want it anyway. I cross the finish line at 4600rpm but not really willing to go steeper in the gears. Would love to get an overdrive with the lower first gear but that is a $1000 swap. Am looking at the Lunato Voodoo 60103 or 60104 cam. There is the challenge. Thanks for looking.

Russ, I'm curios now. You got any info on your car on here anywhere? Love to see a 8 sec big block. Been toyiny with the idea of a LS, but chevelle's need BB power. Should have kept my 582 out of the dragster. I wantrd to, was going to change cam and alky set up to carb and ended up selling it to a friend. It's gone 4.80's in a tube chassis firebird. Let me see some pics.
