Thats cool, are you going with the stock rear end?
#42
For now, yes. The 10-bolt that is in there will be rebuilt and filled with an e-locker and heavier axles. Once I build my second motor, I'll be putting in a 9-inch in a fab-9 housing.

I should be working on the 'velle a bit more this week. I'm going to be out at my dad's helpin' him out to change some of the tractor tires on his JD 8640 and will probably get the dash, exhaust, and gas tank out sometime before the end of the week. I may start cutting into the firewall as well. I'll be taking some detailed pictures.

Yeah, I'll be attempting to make it down to Carlisle next year. The last time I tried though, I blew a transmission going through the Lehigh Valley tunnel, LOL... I'll definitely be going to the Syracuse Nationals with my mom's cousin and his '66 Nova.
Nice '71 James!

kyle did ur car come with a factory 396ci in it??
#50
No. It isn't an SS. Its a 0.030 over SB350 that I built when I was 15. Dyno'd at 386hp/425ftlb so it's a stump pulling small block! LOL
