Keep us apprised on how your doing. But not driving your car since last Mar. Wow. :scratchchin
I'm thinking about getting a used v6 vert.I think you need to get a 09' on clearance, add a axle back, gears, cold air kit and tune to have as a DD:bigthumbsup
And if your "big build" of the other car has gone as they normaly do you probably have some pretty nice odds and ends you can't/are not using anymore to bolt on the DD
I know that shop, a friend of mine from Brandywine used them for his 347 build. Car is very strong.Fantastic. I'll be happy if I can just get mine back on the highway. If I end up needing an engine, I've been looking at McKeown Motorsport Engineering, Inc.
Something nice and slow would be good!I'm thinking about getting a used v6 vert.
Good luck with the build!!
And what's this "season" you speak of? We only shut down the track for 2 weeks at Christmas and New Years around here!!:laugh:
Oh, and you may want to look into double caliper rear brakes. Your going to need them it sounds like!:bigthumbsup
Something nice and slow would be good!![]()
You might ask him to quantify " allot of fabrication". I know I had to shim my rear Aerospace brakes because of the 9" ends but that's about it (other then they shipped the wrong peice twice:laughLucky you, Our tracks get shut down from end of Nov till March.
I was looking at the strange dual rear brakes, but CK reported that he had to do allot of fabrication to get them to work.
Darn if you're going to Footbrake that car you BETTER get double caliper rear brakes!!:gringreenI guess I'll pick them up. The price on them isn't bad at all. For the classes I want to run in I can't even use a TB, so the brakes will have to do.
You can get single Caliper set ups for the S197. I have the 9" ends and had to do a little shimming (Minor, couple of washers). The 9" ends with the ABS still in place will take any brake a regular 8.8 axle will.The aerospace setup for the 8.8 axles with C clips will work with s197s? There is no specific part for just the s197 on the aerospace website.
Great company to deal with. Our 4r70w is their model 4stb-e. Our car has been down since last November, so know how you feel and now the wicked heat/humidity is kicking in...so no real hurry to get back to the strip until October. Still...motor going back in with reworked heads this month...who knows?I just got a figure out how to get the cash for a FB performance trans.
What upgrades did you get with the FB tranny? Did you get a single disk converter or dual disk? Are you using there wide gear set or the stock set?Great company to deal with.

Came with full manual valve-body, transbrake, electronic overdrive. Recently had them refresh and upgrade to dual disk and some other stuff (too technical for me). Now rated at about 1100 crank hp.What upgrades did you get with the FB tranny?
