    Following a bunch of your posts and threads. building a CRii kit. Missing a ton of parts, so I'm sourcing out things and getting a bunch of ideas and info here. I'm working on pedals right now. What did you do? What parts did you use? What did you do for your accelerator?

    My sbc is pretty big and costly..aren't they all. I started out with a Dart tall deck block, Dart 18 degree heads. 11-1 comp Lunati 410 sprint car cam. 712 lift, right at 310@0.50 duration. Pro-Systems 1000 cfm carb 4000 stall speed full manual reverse valve body with tranny brake. BTW the engine is 454 inches with the ability to take it to 480 is the need should be there. idles around 1200 in gear. very streetable, never loads up. 354 rear gears, corvette c-4 suspension front and rear. runs mid 9 quarters on MT street radials, which I have on all the time. flywheel horse and torque is right around 800 each. this thing is really fun on the street especially for the unsuspecting that want to run. Have never lost on the street to car or bike. let me know if you have any other questions.

    I sent an email, but it was returned.

    Thanks 74proii, it's all good. The sending unit is 0-90 ohms, same as the old one but my gauge programmable and can pretty much do any of them! Hoping to get it installed on Saturday!
