Hi,
What wheelbase car are you building?  I'm interested in the motor placement questions being asked.  Trying to decide if a should use a shorty or standard length glide?

thanks,
John

John, here's my take... For nostalgic look, shorty PG, for track performance, standard PG. What wheelbase do you have in mind?

proriv63:
I'm thinking 200"WB. I already have a full length glide and a SBC that makes about 750HP. The tire size issue seems a bit crazy too.  Any help is appreciated.

I'll let the pros speak up, but I'd use the PG you have on hand. You're not messing around... that's a nice combination you've got.

I would study the class rules for the JR fuel class. A lot can be learned from their builds. Tire size and weight along with engine location is key to performance. Several pros have offered their advise on this forum. That advise is priceless.
