Hello and thank you for letting me in this cool site. I am building a 170" FED Stack Hilborn injection, trying to keep it looking like 60's JR Fuel Car. I have 10" wheels, Mark William bend kit and blueprint. I have most everything I need except font wheels and little stuff along the way. My differential turned out to be too short so now I have to build one. My housing will be somewhere around 34" and I will need 1.5" 35 axles.
I have a group on FB called "History of JR Fuel"
https://www.facebook.com/groups/707306692694561/I started this group to see if I could get some help building this FEDragster. No one seems interested in following. I have a few questions to start.
I have to splice my shoulder hoop what size rosette holes should I use and how long should my inner piece be?
My mid motor plate is SBC Mark Williams and has a round hole in the bottom. Can I cut a slot at the bottom of the motor plate so I can get it in and out with out removing the block from the alignment bar?
I would like to keep this car looking nostalgic and I need to pick a tire out. I wanted to keep the tire from being to tall. If I used a shorter tire will I be able to keep the diff off of the lower rail and what tire do you all recommend? Thanks
Update: Car is in the process of being built.
