Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Rob is kind of hard to do when there are so many idiot drivers here in Miami, would not want to have my bucket totalled by one of them. Plus I drive a demo from work with all expenses paid I rather risk the demo

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Thats a sharp looking truck Al.
Driving Miami is not that bad, I lived there most of my life and still work there. Just got to learn how to spin them out and t-bone them into the Turnpike median.

That's true Rob great minds think alike.... What tires and what size are the ones mounted on those rallies. I definetly want something that sticks as I am going to do a few passes at the little 1/8th mile track near my house.

, They are Mickey Thompson's ET Street radials, 315 60 15, mounted on an 8" rim. Even with these on, my 68 still won't hook up with the 3.08 gears. I've got a 3.73 rear with a new Auburn posi in it that I'll be putting in in the next week or so. Hopefully that will do the trick, .

Uhmmm.... Increasing the ratio is only going to make that issue worse although spinning both tires will make a difference for sure. Sounds like some suspension tuning is in order.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
