BUILDING A "56" STUDE HAWK AND WANT TO PUT A 354 OR
392 CHRYSLER IN IT. WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS
CROSSED THIS BRIDGE?

WILL HAVE POWER STEARING , BRAKES AND TH400.
9 INCH FORD IN THE REAR AND MODEST TUB.

Here's a crappy pic of the rear end, which was way cool...
It 'was' back halved with tubs and a 4 link setup with coil overs.....and 6.70x15 Firestone bias ply tires with stock hubcaps...

It could swallow some huge M/T rollers, but it was in stealt mode.
I asked the owner how his rear tires would hold up, and he just smiled...
