Scott,
I am in the early planning stages for building a Cheetah replica (Ruth Evolution Cheetah). I'm thinking of a small block Chevy (generation undecided) backed by a T-56 Magnum. I don't know nearly as much about such things as you and I'd like to seek your advice from time to time. Please let me know if you are up for that. I'll send you a PM with my phone number. Thanks.

Hi Cliff, Those were prototypes we had made for a dirt Late Model application. I reverse engineered a set of fabricated spindles and had them machined. We did it for testing purposes as it allowed changing height, arm length, and snout height more easily.
Maybe Kirkham has something designed from when they built the billet car...

Scott - I saw an old thread from 2000 where you posted up a picture of a modular aluminum front spindle. Can you tell me where to find these.
Thanks

Can you help with a dry sump tank question. Was curious how important tank level is (in relation to motor) I saw your pic with the tank in the back. Mine will be similar. I'll call if you're available to discuss. Thanks Scott.
