Building the Beast - 383 supercharged with Mamo top end
#222
So I used the sticky trick and also what Darth_V8r recommended and got the motor mount situation figured out. It's all set now. I used the stock jack and put it between the strut tower and the motor mount and cranked it up until it was even. I also had a jack underneath to align the bolt hole vertically.
And I got the trans in
Getting closer

Installed my front strange drag brake assembly last night.
Packing the bearings
Getting the bracket and hub set up
The brakes are pretty cool how they work
The pads just insert into the caliper while the caliper is attached
Couple finished shots
And a couple shots with the wheels set on there
My lug nuts don't fit for the wheels now so I'll have to order new ones today. It's almost a roller

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Build it right the first time....its alot cheaper than building it twice!!

Rear came in and I got it installed
Took a long time but the quality is pretty awesome
Packaging was nice and sturdy, Took about 20 minutes to unbox lol
Weighed it. 128#. Stock is about 150 iirc. Pretty awesome to drop weight with a 9"
I got it all setup now. Just need to work on brakes today.
Talked to Racewire Solutions and he is starting on my roll cage switch panel now so hopefully not too much longer.

I started the rear brakes
Used a little grey sealant for the axle bearing per MWC
My second time ever welding. Just need to do some grinding and seam seal/bondo and paint
Radiator supports
Front of engine compartment
Rear drivers side well in the back

Made some progress...
Brakes are done and rear is aligned, ride height set (for now), wheels on and it's a roller again!!!
Got the rear dual calipers setup
Front wheels (17s for the street with MT street skinnies, I have 15's with track only MT skinnies, the weight difference is quite a bit)
Rear wheel/tire (15's with ET Drags for now, I have some MT Radial Pro's I want to try out also, 26" tire for now also)
Up close
It can roll!
Shot of both cars in the garage. Wife's going to want her spot back soon lol
