[chevyIIheavy]

a lot of guys run this due to price there are more expensive units out there it does come powdercoated in different colors although you can get in raw form and paint it your self :yes:

For me it's got to be Chris Alston clip's. I know there are pricy but well worth the money.

 

[nova-kid63]

If you're planning on running 10.50 ET, I wouldn't bother spending the money on a front clip. Check with Chuck Church on this site for one of their suspension upgrades - they're running 8s. Spend your money on the drivetrain: engine, trans and rearend, including brakes.

If you are talking about Chris Alsotn there about $5-6 Grand. but that all depend's what you get on it. I forget who it is but there a Chris Alston rep on Steve'snovasite

Check with some of the Church Boys threads on this site, or contact him directly...he'll be happy to help you. As far as drivetrain combinations, that falls directly under personal preference. My drivetrain consists of a ~700 bhp small block Chevy, backed by a PowerGlide, and a Ford 9-inch rearend with 4.86 gears. My car, weighing 2780 lbs with me in it, ran mid 9.80s ET at 1900' of altitude (a little quicker at sea level) without a throttle stop. You can probably get away with a milder set up to run the 10.50 ET, or slower, that you're targeting.

 

[nova-kid63]

where r good places to find high power small blocks and i have a 10 bolt rearend will that be good and are powerglides the best trannys or can a 400 or 350 tranny hold 450 hp

 

[chevyIIheavy]

sure i would try a different rearend though and a th350 would be better for the street a powerglide is ok but is better for dragracing

 

[nova-kid63]

im going to go with a 350 tranny and do u think i should go with a 12 bolt or a ford 9 inch

 

[TechGuy]
