Hmmm, eight foot timing chain?  Seems to get longer every year LOL!. 192 links, 3/8" pitch, exactly 72".  And who was that guy that did the gear drive?  Sneaky Pete, of course...

Nifty car. Do those rear ends really hold up to abuse? They look wussiferous. I like the speedo off to the side, because who really gives a damn how fast you are going as long as it feels good.

Didn't know about DynaDeck. Could be twitchin' in the right car.

axles in several sizes from the smallest that could take up to
200 horses to the biggest that was based on a Ford Truck axle
that could take all you could throw at it and then some

They also forgot about the belt drive system.


I can't figure out why he used a factory two piece cast iron bellhousing. ???

Damn, I knew I shoulda stuck with therapy longer. Not my fault the shrink jumped out the window only four years into my life story. Well, maybe it was my fault. So difficult to find a psychiatrist's office on the ground floor these days.

Ok the car is super kool and it has a cammer.
BUT those ugly round turn lights on the front bumper look like crap.
He could have put some effort into making the bumper look correct. jmo

Pretty cool car. Can't argue with a cammer powered anything! Couple of things not to my taste but for me I would not have spent any time reshaping the rear wheel arch. Just pumped it a bit maybe.
