Have you taken care of the clearance between the rear girdle and sway bar? I couldn't use one because my sway bar was in the way.

yes sir sure did, it now clears by 3/4". Cleared before I did the Spicer-12 girdle but installed it rested hard against the swaybar (bad news), so I went to HomeDepot found some 1"x1" Square Tubing and cut a 4" piece placing it under the Swaybar rubber mount holder metal thingymadoogie. It works fine for now, really considering doing the WolfeRacecraft 4'link, just not sure I want to go to a fuel cell...I'd like to make some trips now and then.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I actually got to use the screws, but I did something a little bit different. Doing a writeup on it as we speak.

Thanks, she fired up yesterday for the first time in 18 months, first turnover no problems, sounds freaking sweet with a 396 in her belly. Monday they have to put some load miles on her before hitting the dyno in the afternoon, then I'll take it home. I posted a video but my host honked up, I'll post an mpeg Monday evening.

Couple more pics of what they got done last week.

funny you ask, actually talked to Brian @LME last week, AFR told him they were backed up till first of the year...soooooooooo if I decide on AFR-215s I'll be ordering here shortly (couple months), but I'd really like to see what else is on the market in the way of raised runner heads I can have hogged out to marry up with a SuperVic.

Damn thing hasn't even hit the dyno and I'm contemplating bigger

...does it ever end???

Nope don't ever end.. my current build ain't done yet, and i'm already thinking ahead... Look at some of the GEn 1 sBc stuff.. lot's of they're stuff seem's promising.. And i got some All Pro's right now that are doing all the right stuff on the bench.. we'll see how they do atop a Solid Roller 396..

Damn almost like i'm on a bandwagon here w/ all these other 396's..

Cool Club to be in IMO...
