i would like to stick a 4L80E into my race car hauler. Its a 78 chevy 3/4 ton with a 96 350 vortec engine and a turbo 400 trans. The truck started as a crew cab frame which i lengthened over 3 feet and put a regular cab onto. I built a 16' deck on the back as well as a 4.10 geared dually rearend...

I also installed moroso trick springs which lowered the front of my car quite a bit but i'm happy with the new height. I'm also running the cheapie speedway upper control arms. Here is the problem...

heavier 5x5 whitetail but has short tines. A mature buck but it would never have been big. Got my hunting partners with me. Major excitement!

front brakes : for a street / strip car that weighs 3200 lbs with driver. Wilwood or strange? What should i get? I know that strange says "for raceing only" but i'm sure lots of guys run them on the street? Why would they say that ? I won't be autcrossing or anything. brian

I'm looking into wheels for my malibu when I get it mini tubbed. Has anyone used the cheap summit aluminum wheels? They are like $134 and come in any size. I thought that if i was going to drill them and put slicks on them i would want cheaper wheels. I will probably run high 9's so strength is...
