X2 did you finally get it figured out? Sucks that after all the bullshit that know your selling it. Sucks when you spend all that cash and have these brutal issues. I swear i wanted to sell mine a couple times when i put the new motor in and was having the headaches. Just want the ******* thing to run and see your money went to some good.

The Hoosiers have more than enough bite for my car. It has stock LT1 rear brakes.

Spare 10 bolt ~$FREE
Foxbody rear ~$100
Used 4.30 gear ~$80
Used Moser axles ~$75
Bearings & seals ~$150
Adapter U-joint ~$25
Mini ladder bars ~$75

Labor ~$FREE

I love the ladder bar setup! Feels a lot different. I can feel the rear of the car lift up behind me on a launch. I don't do much spirited cornering, but from what I have done, it doesn't feel any different to me.

Check out the weight reduction sticky in the Drag Racing section.

Standard wire tuck under the passenger side fender well. Practically every wire was extended and ran below the pass. side header. The injector wires are under the fuel rail.

Intrax. They advertise 2" front and 1.8" rear drop. Got these used also ($75)

Damned Optispark CAP. Looked brand new but it was a dud. I bought it from BawlsZ28 on here.

They are SBC Fabbed aluminum covers off eBay.

Sigh. Tell me about it.

Thank you all for the complements!

Any more pics of the interior?? And how do the seats fit and feel?

Stance is great, wheels work perfectly with the car Engine bay looks fantastic

Great job, I considered the mini ladder setup with my 8.8 setup, but built a 4 link instead. Haven't driven it yet, but I'm looking forward to it vs. the torque arm

The seats, on stock brackets/sliders, sit a little higher than stock. If I had it to do over I would've stayed with stock seats. I wouldn't recommend these. You get what you pay for. They look cool but are not of very good quality.

I love the way this rearend works compared to the torque arm.
