Default Hookin' in 08

Check these sucka's out.

Bogart D10's - 15X11 with 4.5" backspace. The Tires are 30X10.5 Radial Slicks (29.5 tall).

The rear-end was narrowed 4" per side. I cut out the LCA brackets and will fabricate some narrow ones after I get the rear in the car lined up. I may have to shorten the PHB by an inch or so. I will have some test fitment pics next week.

Yes it is.

I have offset bars as well. I plan to use the two offset spacers in the back like pictured and the regular setup in the front. That way the bracket is plenty narrow in the back and bolts factory in the front.... hope like crap it fits or I will narrow the inside spacer even more to bring it in.

My 427 L92 longblock is now for sale. 99BlancoSS convinced me it won't make big bore power so it has to go. I've decided to run stock internal at first and get it dialed in and then see what I can do with all GM internals. I'm looking for 9's all GM stock parts. Of course then run the regular cam and heads/cam classes before stepping back up to big motor or power adder.

I will get some updated pics of the theft recovering later today. The problem is I like to cut it seems more than race, or atleast fabricate and come up with things.

You're probably going to ask so before you do I will answer.

Q. Why would you need such a big tire for stock internals?
A. Because the track down here resembles a hockey rink most of the time.

Hey man...

When I lived down their that track was kick ***... Actually, did I forget to mention my car was slow back in the day and traction wouldn't be a problem anywhere...hehehe

Ah, memories of GP...Up to MacDonald’s then back down to 7-11 area, turn around and do it again...over and over...

I heard that the Jackson County Sportsman’s park (the drag strip in particular) was very political now...?
