Hi all!
I'm planning to pick up more gas for the welder, as well as some box steel to extend the sub frame from under the front seats and tie it to the front rear leaf perches, an box things in across the drive line tunnel. Getting a head start on the V8 conversion and this is one of those things I'd like to have out of the way. I will be cutting out and replacing the driver side floor pan as well, since it's getting pretty bad...
Anyway, I am also planning to get some traction bars put together as well, hoping to go DIY, I love doing these types of things, especially with the peace of mind knowing that I built it and it works!
Here is the type of traction "device" I have had in mind, but other designs are welcomed in terms of what will be more effective.
http://www.automedia.com/Traction_Bars/res20050801tb/1I did some research a couple years ago about how to calculate the length of the bar, but I can't find the links to those webpages anymore. Any input on bar length calculation?
Also, the V8 I have planned won't be pushing anymore than 230 HP, max, if that helps.
