Another question... How necessary is the front sway bar? My plans for the car are to drive it on the street and probably a test and tune or open track day at the local race track. Trying to decide now as it will have an implication on the AC lines. Thanks

I ask for aesthetic reasons as well as functional. I have seen a couple guys using 2004-2008 Chrysler Cross-fire mirrors. They look pretty cool. I know they aren't stock but I was never really impressed by the originals. Thoughts? Pictures? Thanks.

I am specifically talking about the piece that mounts to RCR's spindle. I have seen a really nice "custom fabrication" but was wondering if there is something out there that will work. The closest that I have seen is the setup sold by cobra automotive Cobra Automotive Shelby Mustang brakes &...

...For the gulf car. I have seen them in the front, centered in the opening and on the rear quarter (much larger radius). Anyone know the correct size and where I can get them? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone used different lights in their car? I really like the ones on the new camaro or the audi's. They have a LED "surround". Just kicking around the idea before I cut my light openings out on my car. Thanks

Ok, here is the first post of I can only imagine how many! I have never been great with documenting my projects but I'm really going to try on this one. Let's face it, most of my post will be questions! I decided to stop emailing Chuck (thanks Chuck) with my questions and make them public...

I want to place my engine to locate the engine mounts and I was wondering if anyone has a part number for one that works with the tight clearances. I have been digging around the site with no luck. While I'm asking.. What engine mounts are you guys using (the one's that bolt to the block)...

Ok, I'm done with tires and moving on the the stacks! What size are you guys running? By size, I mean the height. I have seen the short ones (30's?) and the taller ones (50's?). I like the tall but I want to make sure they clear. Thanks, Jim

Mickey Thompson 6654 - Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Tires - Overview - SummitRacing.com Anyone using these tires?

Ok, I have the 15" wheels and I want a good tire to ride on the street. I have read all the posts on tires (and there are a lot). Can someone recommend a set of Pirelli's or others for my RCR. The car has the two inch flares. I keep finding a company that makes tires for the back but they...

Ok, I'm driving myself nuts with making the decision to go EFI or non EFI induction. I'm convinced on doing a stack setup. I know you are reading this Fran.... :) Anyway, is there a difference in sound between the EFI and non EFI setups? Maybe that will help make my decision. Also, I'm...

Do you guys have a part number? Are you using a Canton pan or that fancy one that looks very cool but comes with a price? (Ariad? sp?) Thanks

I have narrowed it down to Keith Craft or DSS. The price is about the same. DSS uses their own stroker assembly (331) and Keith Craft uses eagle. The one distinction is KC is a 0 balance and DSS is 28. Any history with either one? I'm building a roller 331 stroker with fuel injection stacks...

Just curious what your plans are for the car... Engine, transaxle, color scheme, flares, etc....

I have been reading the build logs and noticed a few had issues with air getting trapped in the highest point of the engine causing the engine to run hot. Is this a concern? How did u solve it? Thanks.

Just curious what you guys are using for the flywheel? Can you use a 157 tooth ford flywheel or are you required to use a custom flywheel? Fran has offered to hook me up with the custom setup. I am starting to put together my 331 parts list. I figure I can start to assemble the engine while I...

I'm trying to figure out my build options and webers are on the list. I prefer the ease (and frankly the look) of fuel injection but I have very little knowledge of it. I will be building a 331 or 347 stroker engine that will yield approximately 425 HP. Any information on cost, install...

Well, today's visit to Fran's pretty much sealed the deal for me. I'm diving into a GT40 build! For those who haven't been there you really should! What other place can you walk into and see a race car in the lobby? But wait, don't forget about the 917 body sitting on the floor next to the...

I have noticed that most guys use a 302 based engine for their cars. Any reason why you wouldn't take advantage of the cubes a 351 offers? I know the headers would be affected. Fran, do you offer a modified set of snakes for a 351? I know you are reading this Fran.... :) Is authenticity...
