I’m not sure perhaps try the 4.86 rear gears and I’d like to put Hedman<\/em> 1-7\/8 headers on it but not sure…. The car was working well at the end of the 2018 season with the AFCO<\/em> front suspension<\/a>! – Chris<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris has decided to replace his older stud-mounted rocker arms with Jesel<\/em> shaft rockers to correct the alignment problem with his Brodix<\/em> heads with the 60\/40 valve spread. This is the same kit we installed on the new 372 for the ’57 this winter which feature a .125″ offset on both intake & exhaust valves.<\/strong><\/p>\n
