Wheel Hop
More like dancing all over. I never had this happen before. My guess is ladder bars will help. I took my little (53 ford 2 dr wagon) hotrod out today for a quick run . Its not finished yet but what the heck. Anyway I got out on the black top locked the front wheels pushed down on the throttle and all I got was a bunch of wheel hop. I let off and tryed a launch from dead stop. same thing. Engine, well masaged 350,(400+hp) 2 - 650 edelbrocks, 4/11 gears, 32x17.50-15s out back, leaf springs. If I go with ladder bars how far forward should I mount them or dose that mater?Last edited by cffisher; 08-30-2006 at 05:59 PM.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
