Not to be confused w/their Street 5 an overdrive trans. I wanted to use a . 245 rear end gear for maximum mph. With the . 308 rear end I'm using the first four gears are the same ratio as a Muncie M22 Rock Crusher w/a . 455 500 ft. lbs. torque. Their internal linkage is good. However Richmond Gear products have quite the reputation for not breaking. Rear end is a Chevy 8. 5" ten bolt w/. 308 ratio. I asked to have the c/clips eliminated but it was built at W. Side Performance . Roll cage built by Eisenberg's guy at MACO Motorsport cost $2200. Fiberglass clip & hood by VFN Fiberglass. Small bolt on frame by Mitch Lanzini . The body from the windshield back was manually stripped and body work done by Ike's Auto Body. Did you know that if you get your car acid dipped most high end Paint shops won't guarantee their work? That's because the acid neutralizer they dip it in keeps acid etching primers from working properly. Also get's rid of all the seam sealer. Not necessarily a good thing. collectors and exhaust pipes are 3" into Magnaflow mufflers. They down turn under the car at an angle in front of the rear wheels.
