My car setting on the stands, springs are fairly tight. On other BDR cars that I have seen, they had to raise the spring height considerably to get the neede height clearance on the front. In my case with the aluminum block, so far hadn't had to raise anything, possibly may lower just a little. This hopefully will make for a smoother and better handling ride wth the extra wieght of a cast iron block gone. As for your stripped bolts, try the 6 inch pair of vise grips, works fairly good. I might have some issues later with my axles judging on what 600 plus horsepower will do them, so that is why I'm going to wait a little before fixing them. I have got a fix in mind but may not need them. Reg is interested, maybe something he can offer as an upgrade.

Your not stirring the pot as far as I'm concerned, lots of people are leary of new animals, BDR being fairly new to the scene , well raises lot of interest on support issues. My car is completed, hadn't got to drive yet, header issue, found some things a long the way that needed addressing, so far everything has been corrected. Ordered year ago on March 24. recieved car November 11. Ordered motor November 20, Kieth Craft said would be 8 weeks, exactly 8 weeks to the day as promised got motor. Have taken time thus far to make this project nice,custom headers, running seat belts thru rear firewall, litttle stuff like that takes a lot of time. When car is finished will have around $55000 in it, long ways from $25900 that it started out with before options. Started to go with SPF, would have cost about $12000 to 14000 more due to the price difference of roller packages. So yes i might get frustrated sometimes because of the time frame, but we are sooo!!! close now. I have met Reg, Frank, Reg's wife and daughter, super nice people, actually visited their place in Florida. Would I do it again? YES
