BBR's 83GT - 552 BBF version 3.0 (at least)

[BBR]

Ha, no, lifted a rear tire, not front!

[milner351]

so the torsion bar held one tire off the ground as you went up the curb into the driveway?

[BBR]

Yes, that's what I meant! The ARB kept the rear end from articulating as I pulled up the driveway approach. lol

[milner351]

I would think that makes the car a bit less streetable.... that had to feel weird!

[Russell]

I have seen an Evo do that. the rear tire when into free spin, then it looked like it locked in and when the speed of the vehicle

[BBR]

I do not plan to leave it connected all the time. That would just be hard on parts. I will just unbolt the links and wire them up out of the way for street driving.

[CDMBill]

Just a little to quiet over here.

He's pulling the engine to put in his garden tractor F-250.

Gonna give "Farm Truck" a run for his money?

Hell, he is in the Texas panhandle. It's almost Okie territory.

The car is currently in 'backyard jail' because it's spot in the shop is taken by Trucktosterone for a while. I did have a friend cut out some steel caps for the cut outs and I drilled the holes in them today.

Amarillo dragway is doing a king of the strip series this year, much like the street outlaws thing. It kicks off March 29, so I will be getting the car ready for that pretty soon. Real tempted to throw a small shot of nitrous just for kicks.

[Russell]

Is that a no prep race?

[BBR]

They have not said, but crap I hope not. They are also doing one for race cars but it's 1/8th mile, so I bet they prep the crap out of it. The only drawback is the street car series does not allow slicks, just drag radials or et streets.

The alternative is putting one back on the front if you kept the rear one in place. I think a lot of folks are confused by the difference between the drag race only ARB's and conventional anti-roll bars for street and road course use. The former allows virtually no rear end articulation, necessary for higher powered triangulated four link suspensions like Fox chassis Ford's and G-body GM's.

Bill, I really need to stop looking at A460 headed builds! Seems like you can almost do everything wrong and still make 800hp. lol

A cylinder head swap to possibly P51's has been lurking in the back of my mind for a while now, but dang, the A460's are competitive price-wise and then you still have room to grow far beyond a P51's capability.
