Not bad trade?? I think she better never find out what some guys would give for all that.
What is your HP goal? ET? Looks like you have a great foundation for some single digit fun... : smiley with his face all pulled back :
We are looking at around 800hp on this motor....with the 2 shots a little better!.......Looking at around mid 7's through the quarter.......I did have a buddy of mine trying to trade me a alcohol Drag boat for it.......I just couldn't imagine draging my grandkids around on a tube at 150mph...LMAO!!

I bet they'd LOVE it... on paper. Never tried it, but isn't it hard to signal "slow down" at anything over a hundred?
I'm not sure which would be more fun... building it, or driving it. From what I can see, you are having fun doing it right.

As a kid, "Wild" Willy Borch was a hero of mine. A friend actually got to meet him, and Willy told him that if he didn't have the car square by 80, it wasn't gonna happen. Said that after that, the steering wheel was pretty much useless.
And, he drove with one hand Where do you buy pants, when your nutz are like cantaloupe?
Have you seen the repro of his car? Better cage, but they claim the rest is authentic. I wonder.

Well i got nothing. No one has u channel or anything similar. the biggest rod i can find is 3/4 and most of them are threaded, which i thought about and it would work better lol. but i still need the 1 inch. And no bearings
I might have to ask my gf's dad about the rod

That rod is called "allthread" and is not even close to what you need in terms of durability, or precision.
Hit the salvage place, and see about some shaft and bearings?

Oops, i wasn't clear. The car has been reproduced for Nostalgia Drags
According to the driver, it is too faithful a repro. In an interview, with him standing next to it, his fear of the machine was obvious in his body language...lol.
It wasn't even running, and his posture was that of a person standing next to a large dog that they didn't quite trust.
A clip of him driving (with both hands), showed that the car wanted him dead as much as Willy's did him.
Enough of the old days...
What's the target weight of your Vega?
