    anyone interested in a new watts link and a 3 or 4 link in here

    anyone interested in a new watts link and a 3 or 4 link in here

    How will the EVM 3link/watts work on the 1/4 drag strip? Better or worse than a 4 link? All the folks on the Corner Carvers forums seem to approve the design for their track intentions, and I have yet to see one critiqued for drag racing purposes.

    New stang owner in need of help 65 fastback

    I want a 385 big block for a couple reasons: I want the car to be special and different from all the other 64-66 Stangs with Windsor based engines, no way in hell will you ever get a SBF to sound like a BBF. The parts are more available to me due to a friend of mine having BBFs in his race car...
