Hey Kevin I'd sure like to know how you got your car so low in the front. Did you guys move the motor up in the chassis? If I tried to put mine down in the weeds like that the oil pan and headers would be below ground level LOL.

John just went on to check your updates, cars lookin good. I expect to see you posting some low 9's real soon.

If you had a chassis like kevins yours would sit like that, however, do like I did and cut your springs to much and you would be just about that low.
:evil: but we all live and learn.

By the way I can't say to much yet cause the deal hasn't been finalized but I may be coming home with a 1967 Nova Chassis car built by Bear's Performance before they stopped building cars.

I keep everyone updated as soon as I know for sure.

I can get mine pretty low, but start running out of header clearance real fast. Those big Lemon's headers don't give me a lot of room. Here's the way mine sits right now, but I'm going to lower it about 1" more from this, that will give me about 2" of header clearance about the least I'm willing to try. I was thinking about how to get more and figured maybe Kevin had sit the motor up higher in the chassis to get the ground clearance?

John, how much clearance do you have from your collector flange to the floor pan, I have a friend that bought a set of Lemon headers (which are awesome) but they hung down to much and he had to cut the tubes to bring with closer to the bottom of the car.
