So we figured out the problem with the clutch assembly. I had gone through the money and pain of switching everything over to a "ford" style by using a passenger side pivot ball and 94 and later clutch fork.
After realizing that won't allow enough throw on the bearing and I will have clutch problems, I took a look at my friends pro stock car and decided to copy the ways his is setup.
Moved back to a gm fork and driver's pivot ball. Moved the fork exit to 7pm, instead of 9pm. All is well in the world now and the clutch movement is perfect.

Looks good... I spent 4 days dealing all the clutch b.s. If I would have just kept the stock clutch pedal, I probably could have made something work, but I wanted the heim joint linkage for a more positive feel.

I also got Racecraft's new billet uppers, which helped as well...
I have a stock location Wolfe Adjustable spring perch kit and I can adjust my ride height 2"
I can actually lower the car more than it is.
I really don't know if it will work that low, but I will find out when I finally make it out to the track.
Between the clutch and my suspension, I am pretty sure I can keep it that low and get it to 60ft where I want it.

Getting slightly closer... by the time all the fluids and intake/carb are on it, it should sit a little lower in the front. Can't wat to finally drive this phucking thing... All the wiring is done, just need fuel and water lines and finish the headers.

I didn't really want to do it either. I have the car sitting so low that I can't put the headers underneath, since I have the stock floor.
I heard upsides to the exhaust is that there won't be anything under the car, the undercarriage stays cleaner. Unfortunately, it will be louder.
I do agree with you, it would be way better with it underneath.
I may look into changing it next year.

All the wires hanging in that one picture is the power lead for the ignition box I haven't installed yet and the other is for the lights for the gauges....
Thanks to Stevie's Garage in Simi Valley for the wiring, hood install and building the headers...
