wheel hop BAD
worked some of those big six legged bugs[ddd
took her for a power run and wheel hop city real bad,
well to cure it l put on about 4 inches narrower and 3 inches shorter bf good rich ta 235/7O/15's and that helped, then a home made pinion snubber so it barley hops now, l figure we fiddle around with tire pressure to fine tune the ride.
she will flat out go sideways and squirrelly when ya stand on the loud pedal that answered the question if my reverse engineered conglomerate of an intake works
now back to the niggly little stuff.

With those skinny 235's and a big block, if it doesn't smoke tires when you stand on it then something is seriously wrong!
I can't help but wonder if there's a simple way to improve that rear suspension to permanently reduce/remove wheel hop and be able to run some nice big tires on the back again. Just glancing at it, I think you'd have to remove one set of those leafs and add some tubular upper links, at a minimum. Just thinking out loud.
Looks good!

Great photo of THAT parked in front of This & That Skull! Awesome indeed. Once you dial in the rear suspension, I'm think'n burnout class for the young folk. Get em involved. . [cl.

Did you snag it? If not, how much is he asking?
