curious on your thoughts on the chassis? i've had to buy so many small parts from them to fit properly like headers ,mounts ,ect. is yours on the road yet? i have their frame connectors too. was wondering what your thoughts would be on the rear suspension to match the front?

My car is 70% done. Besides ChassisWorks front clip w/power rack, I used their Canted 4 link. Made our own subframe connectors. Bought lots of small parts from ChassisWorks DSE and Dougs Headers.

Yes. Only had to noch a small piece on the bellhousing on pass side. Also, the only clearence problem with the 502 was that the oil pan didn't clear. And, the dist was up against the firewall. Changed to a BB Milodon oil pan and recessed the firewall.
Problem, Problem fixed,
The 4 link was difficult to install. Not for me, but for my two friends who are doing the fab/body work. With the mini tub, 4 link and roll cage, the back half of the car was completely cut up.

The floors were custom built(Raised) to accomodate the 3" exhaust. I now have plenty of ground clearence.

Matt, the knuckle for the rack came from Flaming River. Same place where I got my polished tilt steering column. http://www.flamingriver.com/index.cf...=cat/cat76.htm
