thanks for addl. info. I am leaning toward a non power brake setup for the surfcr8, car weight would(wood?) probably be close to your's; I am running small block but maple body may even out weight difference. I at present have this in mind:
Mustang II front susp.w/JW garage crossmember
small block/350 trans(came w/car)
Jag rear(came w/car)
pinion parking brake setup
remake wood body(rear cargo out of bowling alley lane just picked up a 16 foot section)
elim. cowl gas tank if possible
w/luck it will be done this summer thanks for help I will be back again I'm sure.good source of info.
