DR50; Looks fast already......................is that an optical illusion that makes the engine position look really down hill, towards the rear. I guess I should ask if the carb plane is pretty level?
I was wondering about the engine position before but figured you were still finalizing till you mentioned the firewall distributor conflict..........Frank

yes it is down hill a tad .. I have put all my old drag cars in that way  work well hooks good no vibration and i am only lookiing to go about 140 in it any way... it is in the chassis at 8 degrees which puts the cab roughly 3 down depending on where i put the coil overs  ... thanks ...........I just missed the firewall calculation when i welded the body around the cage and to the floor by about 1/2 inch too far forward . all the mounts ere already in it.....
