Budget rail
Kentucky Mark:
I've been out of drag racing for some time!Went to a show yesterday and I think I've got the bug again.My starting point would be a 450hp 327 Chevy and a Dana 60.I do body work and Fab work for a living .Would like to build a old school rail from scratch.Any advice from anyone here would be appreciated

SFI spec on what ever spec you want to build to. if don't have plans you can get them from Mark Williams.S&W or Neil and Parks I think have a set they sell.Neil and Parks would be my choice. Great guys.Have every piece you might need,brackets and specialty items. Frank and Scott are super helpful. Also Roo man on site is great for info. Main thing is motor and rearend alignment.
Building yourself is butt load of fun and personal satisfaction. I know.It can get to be drugout if money becomes issue,I know this too well. Get collection of fed videos on computer,great motivation.
Read thru Roo mans section here lots of helpful tips. Build and enjoy. Always willing to give advice for what it worth. My email is wydopn2312@yahoo.com and if need phone chat is heck of lot easier than typing.LOL
Kentucky Mark:
Thank you sir!
jeff/21:
enjoy yourself!
if the dana is not narrowed to the width you need, I would sell as it's worth good money and buy something lighter as you don't need all that beef
Kentucky Mark:
Nine inch ? I've only raced a heavy door car bigger was better!lol I was leaning toward the Dana as it's a full floater?
Thanks
