Last post by cboss70 - April 08, 2025, 12:57:15 PMPerfect- I have those parts from the 250 set-up minus the starter and will use all of those and the only thing from the 66 C4 will be the body. Much easier solution than having to rebuild my 200 engine or the C4 from the 250! Thanks again!

CS was hanging out with the euro trash driving their "Sport Cars". He wasn't playing with American iron yet. But, when he did it was Chevy whose door he first knocked on. Ford was so anti GM they make Dave MacDonald sell his Z06 vette - the one Chevy gave him.
Don't forget before the Shelby GT deal with Ford Shelby American was keeping the doors open by offering tuning and mods on "All Makes" of cars.
YEP, Including the Chevy Corvair.......

Last post by Bob Gaines - April 08, 2025, 11:51:58 AMThanks for taking the time to respond. I need a pair of black visors that do not have any tears or other damage and ones that do not have impressions in the vinyl from remote clips or mirrors.

Likely headed toward exclusive use for the ultra-rich, it may lose its grassroots spirit. Many fear it's the end of an era for public access and real enthusiast culture. Let's hope the legacy isn't entirely erased
I'd give it a couple Years before they realize they will need to open it up to Public use for Income to help maintain it.

It's the first permanent track built in the US. We should start a drive to save the place for its historical significance.
It is the oldest permanent road course in the United States. Construction began in 1952, with the inaugural race held on November 23, 1953. The main track is a 2.500 mi (4.023 km) long road course that is unchanged from its original 1953 configuration.

Last post by FL SAAC - April 08, 2025, 10:29:59 AMMoving right along on this on going process.
Driveshaft what to do with the stick driveshaft?
Dump it
A one-piece driveshaft in a Whipple 2016 Mustang GT can improve performance by reducing rotating mass, potentially leading to quicker 1/4-mile times, and can be lighter and stronger than the stock two-piece design.
Reduced Rotating Mass:
A one-piece driveshaft weighs less than a two-piece, which means less weight has to be accelerated and decelerated, potentially leading to quicker acceleration and improved handling.
Improved Performance:
The reduced rotating mass can translate to quicker 1/4-mile times and better overall performance, especially when paired with a Whipple supercharger.
Strength and Durability:
The big one Elizabeth!
One-piece driveshafts, especially those made from materials like carbon fiber or high-strength aluminum, can be stronger and more durable than the factory two-piece design, especially when dealing with the increased power output from a Whipple supercharger.
Elimination of Potential Issues:
The two-piece driveshaft can have issues with vibration or noise, which can be eliminated with a one-piece design.
Direct Fit:
Some one-piece driveshafts are designed as direct fits, eliminating the need for adapters or modifications.
WINNA WINNA CHIKUN DINNER !
Only adverse issue is it will set you back $1,200;to 2,000 but thats a small price to pay for reliability and safety
