kenne bell tb on the left , cobra jet on the right.

This is not meant to be negative, or derogatory (no sandwiches) but with 850+ at the rears what is stopping the body from ripping open and spitting out the windows, do they stiffen these bodies I thought that is in the range of the FR500 CJ Mustangs, but I also thought they were caged.

yes sir they were !!!

New hood on , front brakes and tanks done. Clutch and axles out of my realm. So just dropped car of to shop. Hopefully will be done in the next week.

added some bling to slow her down , found a deal on these and couldn't pass it up, and i know the tire is on the wrong way.

when you are in third gear at 60 with radials it blows the tires off !!!!

we are getting there..... this calculates to around 996 crank horsepower !!!
