So, the time has come to do a little more work on the lil' Cali Special. She will be going under the knife in December.
This round:
New Battery Tray and Apron to replace rusted out one
Exhaust - 5" case Super 40 Flowmasters / some long tube Header (Hooker maybe) - finally going to a dual exhuast
Total Control / Chassisworks 4-link and Sub-frame connectors
Aluminum Radiator with Spal fans
Stainless overflow tank
Brake Prop valve
Moser 9" Rear-end and third-member. Not sure on ratio yet, maybe 3.89
This should put me in the wives graces for some time!
Any Suggestions on rear-end ratio?
We will be entertaining a crate 351 stroked to a 427 - looking at about 450-550 horse max + a new trans, much later, of course, since our 302 runs pretty awesome.
Any suggestions on headers and or exhaust?
We have decided since, she has the frame damage and wrong motor, that we will be the saviors and make her better than ever! Yes, the point of no return. That way we have one awesome driver until we decide on the paint and body, many miles down the road.
Will post pics soon!
