Nice ride.

I offer one bit of unsolicited advice concerning your rear axle, be sure to box the perches or you could repeat my little fiasco...

The result of a healthy 455, a manual trans and slicks. Busted the driveshft, the Tremec TKO transmission and ripped through the body.




The car only had 43,000 original miles on it when this happened.



Not going to happen to me again.


I like your blower...mine is in progress.

Thanks for the input...but I went with Caltrac heavy duty perches fully boxed and welded. Already ran into that problem years ago with my mud trucks so yeah lesson learned and very good advice.
Might I add your car looks pretty nice with the huffer on it. Im still unsure if Im going to use it or sell it...seems like a lot of cash to get them on a pontiac motor
Here is a pic of the perches...
