Default pics

Mreid,

I dont think I can top those pics. but here are some more... I like the traditional blue and white and all the racing logos with it. I already know that the # will be the the number 14. For local hero A.J Foyt.

I will be posting up dates as build it.
?????????????????
???????

one question. chose engine size

302------------ stroked to 347 with webers
or
351------------stroked to 427 with webers..
I know I want a 6 speed manual
I already have a 3:54 Jaguar rear.

What's yalls thought????

B&D, I'm not that familiar with your coupe, but many 351w based engines have issues with hood clearance when trying to maximize hp. The Webers may make this less of an issue. The shorter deck 302 based 347 may be a better bet, but check with Ryan to see if this is a significant consideration.

Default deck size

i dont think that the size of the 351 will cause any issues. Ryans Personal car below has a 351 with good size intake. My thought is if I go with small block 427 then I will have all the power I will EVER need. but I dont know if I need it

6 speed all the way, your car is a grand tourer, a 6th gear is magic on the highway.

Nice car, you know that that is the old Contemporary/Upstates Coupe. You will enjoy it. Is he supplying the suspension or is Cobraracing?

Simple - Dart Short Deck stroker 363ci with webers.
Arguably the same reliability & rev-ability as a 347, but with a few extra inches.
