I would like to race it at the NMCA race in Bradenton next year if possible. It's sitting in storage at this time. My problem is time and money.

At this time I have decided to put together a 428 from a lot of the left over parts I have and race the Fairlane in Nostalgia Super Stock at NMCA events. I can always build an NHRA legal SS engine at a later date.

You will have a blast with NMCA Rusty.

You might even consider the Nostalgia Muscle car class.

I still need a few parts but I have a few new parts: JPT converter and C4 for an FE, strange center section with a 4:86 and 35 spline spool and Hooker race headers.

Doing a Great Job on the build so far!

A friend of mine gave me the 9" rear and I think it came out of a Bronco. It is very hard to get the slicks to clear the 2" studs so to make it easier to install we are going to narrow the rear 1.25". That will center the 10.5" slick when I get a new set in the center of the wheel well.

The Wilwood brakes I have are for the late big Ford housing so we will install a set of Strange housing ends.

The battery cable runs along the frame rail. There is more clearance than the photo shows.
