Yes. The load bolts for these have a
swivel foot that lands on the bearing
caps and housing (at an angle). We
removed the foot and ground the
ends of the bolts round, and they
now land on the center of the caps.
We've also mounted the 4-link bars
using rubber bushings instead of
Heim joints to...
Running the 8-1/4 on history of a friends R/T (440/6 pack), that runs
consistently in the 12's. Weight and
cost were his deciding factors. It's
been under his car for many, many
passes and has never had a problem.
He also runs the same girdle I'm
using. And we both also eliminated
the "C" clips...
Cheap, plentiful, and easy to narrow.
I can get these for around $100.
Got a friend with a junkyard that has
them stacked up like cord wood.
With the girdle, it should be able to
handle the 440.

That looks a lot worse than mine.
It's just the point of the thing. People
just don't seem to care, or don't have
any respect for other peoples'
property.
I pulled the cover and brought it to
the Ford dealerships body shop. They
couldn't repair it, so I'm out $500.
I also went back to the...
Thanks!
The wheels still need to be spaced
out to close up the fender gap. Since
this pic was taken, we now have the
steering column, wiper motor, go
and whoa pedals, headlights, tail
lights, gauges, and interior lights
mounted and wired.
No pics, didn't have my phone with
me. It looks like the cart was hit
which sent it flying. It hit the bumper
cover hard enough to put about a 4"
gash, clear through like it was sliced
with a knife. Luckily it didn't take
anything else out.
Went to the store today to pick up
a few items for Easter dinner. After
about 30 minutes, my shopping was done.
Out the front door I went, and steered
my cart to the rear of my car. I loaded
up the trunk and proceeded to return
the cart. Looking towards the front
of the car I saw the horror of...
First thing I would do is clean the undercarriage to see what you're
faced with as far as any frame
damage, dried out or damaged
rubber parts, bent or broken
suspension parts. Secondly,
check to see if you can turn
the engine over (by hand if you
have to). If it won't rotate, you could
