Thanks guys, looking forward to racing with you guys as well.
It's just easier to post pictures on FABO, so most of my comments and photos are over there.
But I will keep posting here as well.
I got the Wilwood spindles yesterday, I will find out how they are going to work tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving Slanters!

Progress
I have been working on the front spindle issue for quite a while now.
Last week I sent all the ball joints and Mustang II spindles back to Speedway and Jegs.
I just could not make any of it work with my old parts.

At first when I spoke with Strange they said they had no parts for my old stuff.
After talking with one of their tech guys I did find a rotor I can use.
So I ordered them and it looks like I am in business.
They sell a rotor caliper for these rotors and I would need to build mounts to my spindles.
I can use my spindles and front end parts. I just need pads for these AIRHEART calipers.
The worn out rotors were the problem that started this whole process.

Here is the old rotor next to the new rotor.

Lots of stuff working, not much finished. I did get the hood mounted. Found front brake pads and O-rings for the calipers. Trying decide if I want to build an aluminum trans as my main gearbox. Liberty will do steel bushings front and rear so it will be like the race case. Either a 2.66 or 2.47 first gear set. 30 lbs lighter than a steel setup. I have an old DC aluminum tailshaft housing for either front case I run.

Sorry for not keeping up on my postings.
I joined Facebook this week so I could post on some Pro Stock and Don Hardy groups.
I have gotten some good info from some folks so I guess it will be worth it.

This week I almost finished the mating of the Lakewood Bell Housing to the block.
I have gotten the Flywheel, thanks Will, surfaced and mounted for fit.
Using a McLeod disk and a DC Green cover PP.
I will be using a Hyd throw out bearing.
Just need to fit the starter and it will be done.
Here is the complete mock-up.
Next to roll all this under the frame rails and trim the mid-plate and start constructing the front motor mounts.

Greg no idea on weight. I know they added weight when it was a Hemi 4 speed car to run Pro Stock in the late 70's.
I have found the weight plates on the rear valance.
The driver then was around 230 lbs, I am at 180 so there is 50 lbs!
I have aircraft scales at work but I can't get them out of the plant right now.
I know it put it on the jack stands like I would do my Cuda and the Colt was WAY different.
I lifted up on the front and the dang thing started to rotate.
So I had to rethink that set up.
I have read on the interweb about the 4 foot 2x4 and a bathroom scale.
But till I mount the engine and get it all together it's not much point.
Shooting for 2250 with driver.

Thanks Guys

Working on engine and bellhousing placement.
Took the front end off for the first time, that is sweet to work on stuff.
Mid plate is proving to be a challenge.
Found 92 pounds of lead under the fuel cell.
So there is a 10th, right?

Little bits at a time.
