Anybody out there have some new steel dist. gears for a .467" shaft? Really need at least two, but would take three if available. TIA

Desperately looking for a set of .020" under King main bearings. Part# MB559AM020
Last year they said this May. Just got off the phone and they are saying at least Aug.-Sept. If anyone has a spare set to let go, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jared

I might've missed it somewhere here, but I don't think I saw it mentioned. Looks like Drag Week is back on this year. Same tracks scheduled as last year.

FE Technical Forum / Drag Springs
« on: March 22, 2021, 10:17:36 PM »
Any drag racers with a Fairlane, Comet, Ranchero, Mustang, etc. What are you using for front coil springs? I need to get another set of shocks for the front and am debating on swapping a set of springs while I'm at it. I currently have stock replacement big block springs trimmed a little for ride height. Would a small block spring be better? Are the Moroso just re-boxed 6 cyl/small block type springs? Probably a dumb question, but TIA...

I was still fighting traction on the launch today. I know the front shocks were not helping matters.

Not how I wanted to end the year, but the potential is there for any easy 10 sec pass and it made it home in one piece again.
