Thanks JayT. I would like to put 35's on it, but will need to lift it 2" to make that work. Right now I'm going to use one of the tires on it (my spare 33"s) to mock up a spare tire mount. It will get a 31" for now since its what I have.
For the carb modifications I used what I saw done to the truck avenger carbs. I used the clear plugs for the float bowls to set the floats, I put a peice of rubber hose between the vents for the float bowls with holes drilled in it for ventilation (same as the metal tube on the truck avenger). The only realy problems I have ever had with a holley carb is fuel sloshing into the engine from the vents for the float bowls. With the floats set nice and low and the vents in this way I should do very well. I had considered going back to the Qjet, but the one I have is already warped at the throttle plate(there big down fall). Plus the cost to rebuild verses the holley this was cheaper.
The stock aircleaner fits, so I'm still working on snorkle ideas. Next is the master cyl and prop vavle. Then the rear mini spool. Still undecided if I'm going to lincoln lock the front or not. Dont have any spares for the front so with 33's I will probably hold off for now.
I need to get it out of my way for now, getting ready to paint liz's stealth. Once that is done were tearing down my barn too put up a metal building. So for now all projects are on hold unless I can get them to my work(still slow so I can work on my own stuff.
