If you aren't going to add weight to the rear of your roadster
can you change the diff to some type of limited slip?
If you're going to race it, wouldn't a Chrysler torque flite
six work.......
nahh, no racing here. i do intend to drive briskly with the vintage rally crowd... "canyon car" is more like it. a huge part of the criteria was LOW WEIGHT and USE THE IRON PILE. i don't think i spent $3000 total on the project, though that discounts the nicely built engine, trans, axle, suspension and brakes on the '63 American.
there's not much i am going to do about front/rear weight distribution. my main concern in the short term is too much rear spring. i'm running a single leaf for location and the smallest air spring available. it's got 10 PSI in it, and it's all jacked up! i'd like to eliminate the leaf, losing another 20 lbs a side, and go with a locating linkage and the air spring only.
or install some import independent rear. with only 200 ft/lbs my choices are open.
