First look at JBL 4.6/BB touring car chassis

[Ant]

Hey Richard,

Congratulations, you are definitely in the category of a can do person!

It had to happen in my opinion with the JBL, (a wider engine that is) as your car is a high tech unit as far as handling and build, some say a Cobra hotrod. The modular engine does solve the California problems, and I guess is as light or lighter than my all alloy 351 engine, and possibly more reliable and dare I say it Economical. I wonder about the chassis stiffness, as your chassis appears to be much the same front scuttle to rear of car, apart from going back to front double A arms, and less stressed skin in the front framework, as you say its designed to be less stiff more of a sportsman chassis.

John M,
Hang in there buddy and keep all your hard work for a while, see what you have done with your Boss JBL modifications to Richards thinking, but the modular will have to get some firepower before it keeps up with your little monster!

Hey Ant,

I was just joking man! Don't worry. I have no desire to sell my project. Frankly, I don’t think Richard would sell me another chassis. Besides, I am not done making changes and torturing him with the one I have.

I am anxious to hear more about this new chassis design and hope to check it out at Knott's.
