finally got the car almost all the way done, so with only two weeks till powder puff it was time to test. some shock revalving is needed but other than that everything went perfect. the power of the new motor is awesome. cant wait to get back in the car again

I have built my car for equal sized front and rear tires... the front rim/tires on my car are borrowed... how does your car handle compared to other combos you have driven? I plan on eventually running sand diggers on the front & rear of my car

I have been talking about enclosing my engine compartment also, my friends keep talking me out of it, saying it will increase engine temp.... any thoughts on that?

i havnt really driven many other cars with different front and rear tire combos but as far as mine goes i love it. i only have to carry one size spare and what ever tire went flat will still fit where the spair goes. some other things to think about though are that the bigger front fires are harder on the spindles, wheel bearings and bushings. also without powere steering my arms would be dead.

as far as enclosing around the engine, so far my temps have been fine set how it is. your problem might be that your radiator is inside the engine cage and you might be blocking a considerable amount of air in to the radiator. my radiator is inside the body under the back window
