Yeah, we still like to drive our race cars. Show up to the track, race em, and drive home while everyone else loads up on the trailer.....most of the time. Other than the few tow truck trips home.

are those interior picts with the mini tub done?

I WISH! I still have to mini tub it. I will take pics along the way though. Tubs will be coming right up to the edge of the seat.

Am I going to run into issues now? My mounts I believe are hooker or atleast hooker style. They have one bolt coming up through the bottom. Ill get pictures when I get to work. Hope I didnt just spend 3k on a rear end that wont work....still waiting to get the final price and call back from summit, so of this isnt correct someone please let me know so I can modify before they finalize it.

You sir have Don Hardy mounts. Should be the exact location as mine.

Just remembered you posted that you have Hooker 2129's, they won't fit with the Hardy mounts. The main reason I made the switch to a motor plate. If you want to make the switch I think I only paid $150 for the plate from S&W and about another $100 for the limiter kit from Bickle. Not too big of an expense if you can make and mount the brackets.

Damn, already ordered urethane mounts for the hardy mounts. Where does the clearance issue come into place on the 2129? Plan on running a different crossmember. Could it be made to fit with a little hammer therapy?

Paid 100 bucks just for the urethane mounts. Lol. So uh....anyone wanna buy some hardy mounts and sanderson headers? Lol

Sanderson's can be made to work with the Hardy mounts, but Hooker 2129's require front of the block mounts.
2129's also require mods to the stock K-member, Sanderson's do not.

Put them on eBay, I was in the exact same boat lol. Sold mine on eBay almost immediately.

Smiley is right, my Sanderson's fit no problem with Hardy mounts and hookers required light modifications to K member.

I don't think hammer therapy will work lol.

Damnit! Ill send back the mounts and order the plate. Any pictures of you limiters and plate kz? Looks like youre going to have a wagon clone of your car... lol

Well, figured Id let everyone know this thread isnt dead. Waiting on parts. But heres some update pics of what been going on and the new delay box. Old one is a dedenbar and its for sale. New rear end should be here next week though, then the tub job is on! Still got a bunch of parts for sale. Headers, engine mounts, factory floor shift and cover. E brake lever and cover for sale as well.

Decent delay box, but if you bought it used, check all the outputs thoroughly when you first hook it up. The internal relays can be damaged from improper wiring or components(shorted out trans brake solenoids are common). I scored the nearly new damaged Mega 450 I use in my drag car as a straight swap for my ancient Dedenbear RTD-7. Trans brake output was fried, but they have an extra relay on board designated SFO(selectable function output) that can be configured as trans brake. Someday I will take it apart and solder in a new $5 relay to make it fully operational again.
