Finished the interior project. I built the dash and seat brackets, I added a grab bar for the passenger. I had to cut into the wheel wells a little to get the seats to sit back, otherwise they were too far forward for my liking. Drove it to town to run some errands and the 427 ran flawlessly. Body and paint are next on the list.

Test and tune yesterday, Race today. It’s launching good but having trouble getting into high gear. Still adjusting clutch linkage. I’ve not had this issue in the past, but I will figure it out.

Got the clutch adjusted correctly Saturday. Best time was 4.80 seconds at 65 MPH in 100 yards. I need to get my wife ratio transmission done. I will get it in the 4.60's soon. Always room for improvement.

I knew you would work out the clutch adjustment. I can't tell you how many times I have rolled into the staging lanes for the first round of eliminations, having just made an adjustment, chasing something or another, hoping it works when I launch on the first pass that counts. Congrats!

Thanks.

Nice video. I can’t tell you how many Dana 20 transfer cases I’ve gone through. I’m sure it’s in the double digits.

Thanks! Ever since I broke mine, a lot of people have been saying the same thing.

Ever try the HD output?

I typically ripped the case in half, or lost the gears. I haven't broke one since I put the cal track bars on.

I took mine to the local 1/8 mile drags strip last night. Traction was a big problem, BFG all terrains are not drag slick! Best I could do was 8.5’s at 88 MPH My 60’ times were terrible 2.20’s. It was fun though!

I also find beer is an excellent muscle relaxant for the pain from hours of sanding.

I've also found the hole for the steering box adjustment to be a very good beer holder.

Nice work, snaking around the steering shaft. That exhaust thrust is going to push your front wheels higher.

So like what does the kitchen sink sprayer hose and check valve accomplish being stuck into the header?

(Legit question)

Crank case evacuation, pulls all the crank case pressure out into the exhaust. I didn't really plan in that kind of hose but it should work. If not I'm out $11
