Just looking for some opinions/insight.

Low gear is important. Remowe the front stabiliser bar, and get cold air to the carb.  Add an extra quart of engineoil, and check front wheel aligment.   

The car is definitely going to be a race car. We want it to be able to be tagged, but I highly doubt it will see much street other then an occasional cruise, don't see much freeway time with it. My uncle had the car for years and it sat in my grandmothers garage. My dad has been trying to get the car for years and my uncle basically just gave him the car recently. He sold it to us for 1500, this included the brand new bumpers that are still in bubble wrap...those were 1200 alone from what my uncle tells me.

I know of things we plan to do include removing gas tank for a fuel cell, electric fan and water pump, relocating battery to trunk....these are all things that were on our other cars.

The transmission is a torqueflite 727, and my dad says he is leaning toward a 4.11 gear.

But to answer your original question I would say race car that we can cruise very seldom in.

Wow, thanks for the info on the 727. Im still learning things about AMC.Im reading everyday but up until just now I never knew the 727 could eventually become an issue. But it makes sense because my Dad did say it would need upgraded over winter.

My father and I are so eager to get out there however we are going to upgrade as we go. Right now we are just working to where we can run and not so much worry about the number.I would be fine with 14s to be quite honest just as long as we're racing!

I have my doubts that we will even be ready to see the track with our "slow race car" until about September. And I know we aren't doing any major engine upgrades until this winter so Im going to take your advice for the winter when we really get into her. For now I doubt we are making a ton of power so hopefully the 727 can hold up at least for the rest of this season, however much is left once we are done.

Thanks again.

Yea basically what you just said is our approach. The car is running, we are going to rewire it this weekend, install the tach as well. The brakes aren't even hooked up so that is another thing we have to do. Other then that we just want to sand it and throw some primer on it so it looks decent and go!

My uncle has a stock SRT8 challenger that he is having problems launching, running 13.9s he is the one that sold us the car. To be able to outrun him with very minimum work would be funny but is not the goal at the time. It will be the goal next season, and unless my uncle plans to piss my aunt off by doing a bunch of stuff to his 30k Challenger it shouldn't be a problem. hahaha

Im not sure if the car has a cam in it already, I want to say it has a mild one in. It definitely has a nice exhaust already with flowmaster mufflers. Im trying to find a good deal on some headers that will get us by until we pull the engine, after that we most likely will run hooker super comps.

I do have a question and forgive me for my ignorance, what do you mean 90/10 up front? And also what is the benefit of removing the front sway bar? You are not the first one I have seen to say remove it. Is it just to reduce weight?

Thanks again
