Nice what does it run?

Fresh build, hasn't been to a track yet. The street drags in Kingman will be its' first outing. It has an approx 400hp 347, full manual reverse C4, 8.8 with a spool and 4:10 gears along with 35 spline axles and C-clip eliminators and rear coilovers. 10 point cage and completely gutted. If I can make it through the weekend and not break anything...I'll call it a successful weekend.

Sounds like a solid 9 second car.

We'll see tomorrow. We're headed to Kingman this morning for the drags. Had the transmission in and out twice chasing a leak, finally fixed it. Changed the oil and it had a hint of glitter. At this point I'll drive it till dies.

Good luck. Post up a good timeslip or video.

Well, Friday was a mess. Only made 1 run and had issues. Normal slow driving around everything seemed fine until you hammer on it. Had a loud "ticking" noise and it was very fast. Thinking I have a pinion angle issue, not enough down angle. I set the angles at 3? initially and everything looked good. The rear ujoint is loose like their supposed to be. I used a set of QA1 coilovers on the rear and it sets lower than factory so I'll do some research this morning and see if I can up with a plan and try it again. The little time I was in the throttle this thing feels like it's gonna be a rocket 😁

Back in the day I know I set the Cobra at 2 degrees pinion angle. So 3 should be enough.

Long story short...I found my noise. When I installed the safety loop it wound up close to the driveshaft on 1 side but had clearance. I never paid attention to the balance weights. Under a heavy load the transmission was torquing over to the passenger side of the car just enough that the weights would hit the loop. Normal just moving the car around it never hit, just while I was on the gas real hard. Due to the noise I was never in the gas real hard except for the last pass but I wasn't in it hard until I shifted into second and just made the command decision to drive it like I stole and if it breaks...I'll know what the noise is. It didn't break. My run was a less than stellar 8.72 and the mph was way off, look at the pic of the time slip lol.

Does that say 498 MPH? Car flys. LOL
