Yeah, I read about the cracking. How bad is it really? I'm not planning on having a cam any more than about 210*@0.05". Looking more for solid torque curve than high HP, shifting at 5000rpm at most.
The car is a semi-regular driver but will probably see more driving once the OD is in there. Car only weighs about 2800# right now, and has about 55/45 weight distribution, so I definately want to keep the weight reasonable. I'd go 'glass, but it IS a street car, so not sure that would be the best idea. I'm particularly attentive to front-end weight though because I want good handling out of the car.
That chassisworks front clip sounds nice. Didn't know it drops 300#, that really makes me drool, but doesn't it use those WAY too small Mustang II front brakes? I'm working on ditching the drums for 4 wheel discs, and won't have anything smaller than 11" up front.
