Pinto Car Club of America

 HI

I AM GOING TO TRY TO BOILD A CAR FOR PINKS ALL OUT IN INDY.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE AND WHAT I NEED ALL HELP IS NEED.
I HAVE
80 PINTO
ENGINE PLATE
351C
C6
8 INCH
STALL CONVEROR

NEED
HEADERS
BELTS
CAGE
SLICKS
LINE LOCK
SHIFT RACING

IF ANY LEADS OR WHAT I NEED TO DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW

what are the specs  on the 351 if its potant you will need a 9in rear.  headers will need to be coustom built unless you front half you car. my pinto runs in the low, mid 10,s

id think the 8 inch would be fine.  joe morgan went 10.75 with a detroit and stock axles.  9 inch spools can be machined down for use in an 8 inch housing.  if you go that route, you can go 31 or better spline with an aftermarket axle.  like noforkins implied, those cleveland based blocks are WIDE.   that may be a concern for the headers, and the whole front end for that matter.  comp engineering hase 8pt cages for 189.  price may have changed from the last i looked.  slicks....biggest you can fit.  26-10.5-15 fit with some massaging.  although, keep in mind, drag radials have recently hit high 6s in the quarter.

TRYING TO MAKE ABUGET BUILD

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP

 

also the rad will need to be pushed foward a lot for fan clearance this will entail alot of cutting, also lateral limiters will be needed for the motor or it will twist up like a pretzel
