Dwight,

Thank You. I am completely enjoying the process.

And about the 12 bolt rear. I have built a number of cars with a 12 bolts and received good service from all. However, I never ran anything lower than a 5.13 ratio. The last fast bracket car I built ran 6.10's 1/8th mile at 3100 pounds [about 9.55 in the 1/4]

It had hundreds of runs on the 5.13 gear and still looked like new.

I hope with the 327 with powerglide running low 10's at 3100 pounds , well, track time will tell.

I might be wise to consider having the gears treated and polished. Do you have any suggestions?
