Mike , I know this will not help but '
I did the same thing , I did not realize just how much traction is built into these cars .
I let my cousin drive , and told him to "get on it " Dropping the clutch at 5 grand ,
one axle snapped the other bent .
On a good note , I can remove the sub frame in an hour, two bolts two nuts
gas line / brake line . I then brought it to get fixed . This became usefull for when
I did in the spider gears (second break). I then went to a 354 instead of the 331 .
I found out later some good pointers . I no longer drop the clutsh but let it kook some .
Or I let it out , then mash it . The next time I will go for the upgraded axle stubs
I wish your car a speedy recovery , let me know if I can help .
