Big Block Fox Build

The carb is a Lil small but I wanted it streetable it ain't a race car lol
E85 takes 30 % more fuel it's still runs good with the small carb may go bigger later

I'm gonna try to race it for the first time this weekend in a modified street class This will b my first race

have fun and good luck

Well since I got the enigine back together with the new cam it burnt the transmission up (stock c6) bout the 5th pass
So pulled it out getting it built
Sent my converter to ptc they said it was so old and screwed up they don't know how it was making it down the track so I ordered a new custom 10" so hope it picks up a good bit
And also installing a 10 point cage and harnesses

Finally got the S&W cage tacked in it looks good but I discovered that learning how to mig weld on a cage is not the best idea lol but I'm figuring it out. Got my converter in should b back and better than ever in a couple of weeks

O yeah the seat cross member in the second pic is unlevel it's Just sitting there it's now level

give us some close ups of the best and worst welds?

Really don't have any close ups some look good like stacked dimes and some well a good bit looks like bird crap lol I'm gonna grind down and re do them everything is just really to tight to make a good weld

I hope so I need all the help I can get for that mod class at the shootout I need a few tenths and a 100 shot lol

almost done still gotta put swinging door bars on it cause i cant get in lol

This is from before the new trans and coverter you cant hear mine running cause of the race truck next to me. I need yalls help ive got some kind of tire shake it looks like the front end is bouncing to me

Ok,,,, please tell everyone how you solved the tires shake problem. LoL

You really need to read the Popular Hot Rod articals on their BBF Fox body build. Last month they went through all the suspension setups and I read somethings that might help you.

Don't forget that you added the roll cage and a tight converter for nitrous!

Well I thought I fixed it, it did it again last pass in 7.0 thats what put me out 1 round before the finals

Its weird it left perfect all night in the left lane 1.46 60'
foot braking at 1600 rpm

Then I was in the round before the finals excited cause I ade it this far in my first race and the other guy had lane choice.
Well I got right lane it shook its but off again and put me out

dont have a clue??????

Man it's been a while since I've seen this thread (sold the car)

Lets see I believe it was just a old double hump T5 maybe ?

I just rigged a c6 mount on it.
