Does it handle good on the street?
Should have left the friction modifier out, would grip more.
Don't know HP. Haven't driven it on the street yet.
Drove all around town today. Brakes are awesome, front cardan joint needs to be rebuilt. Handles awesome, no dw, tracks straight and no vibrations. I got lots of looks.

Getting the front tires put on. Also looking over everything on the lift. Good thing I did, some bolts needed to be tightened.

Looks better with the 37's
Flex sucks with the shocks
Do you think those other red shocks would work better?
Yeah I should try those
good deal tommy, now all you gotta do is shorten that driveshaft and you will be GTG
Went to bvd and figured out my rear driveshaft. 1410 flange yoke, 1350 yoke on driveshaft, 1350-1410 conversion joint. I would do a 1410 yoke on the driveshaft but they don't make it for a 2.5" tube.
Why are you going with 1410s? You do know they have the same size caps as a 1350 right? If you don't need to angle capacity you're just wasing money. I've only ever run 1350s on Pigpen and never broken a driveshaft joint. I even had a 1310 on the front pinion for a long time and never had any issues.
Its not that I want them, its that I have to have them. The sterling has a flange on it with a wierd ass bolt pattern that only fits the ford flange yoke, which is 1410.
I talked to bvd again and opted for getting a 1410 slip yoke for it. That way I won't have a conversion joint in case for some insane reason I break the 1410 I can get another one from any parts store.

Yes, it's different.

Put the 3g on.
Charge cable is 2 guage wire to a 200 amp breaker to another 2 guage wire to the starter solenoid. Before I was at 12.5 volts at idle, now i'm at 14.5 volts at idle. No more flickering of headlights and I actually saw a performance gain.
It runs alot smoother at idle for some reason, sounds like it did with the carb.
Alternators have been removed from my list of majic boxes that I don't know about. Still remaining are power steering pumps, automatic transmissions and bypass shocks
Fixed it for you.Quote:
