    Race cars certified IHRA and NHRA will require a steel floor in driver compartment.

    The reason I ask about degree /angle is you said seats were uncomfy after 45 mins if not laid back can make it miserable. I will find out and let you know.

    Cool. Lets see some pics. Are you going to integrate the upper c/o mount into the watts link cross member. I really like the Fayes2 system. Wish I had one.

    Here som pics

    The first pic is four link upper bars with heims first attempt by me. Too noisy with bind. #2 pics redone upper bars with neoprene ends smooth ride less noisy still bind. Reason for binding is 12" pan hard bar installed by others, thats why Im installing Fays2 watts link and I will be done with the rear end issues. I hope

    Did they make it to fit a Maverick? Or will you have to modify the end brackets?

    My 306 roller is done, went over and paid off the balance. I will pick it up Friday morning. I ordered some parts that are needed to finish the build, still have to buy a dizzy and intake though... Oh! and by the way I found out pertronix doesn't sell a dizzy with a steel gear, they said you have to source one yourself... With my budget I think I'm going to try a summit brand billet dizzy for $199.
