About time I started my build!

[chopthebass]

I've been holding back on posting pics of parts etc. as I've been building a garage first!
Anyway 300 posts on the forum and tons of help from you guys it looks like I might be starting sooon.
I'm relying on the guys here to help me along as the build progresses. I'm sure I will have questions!

My spec is:
Complete kit (well, the Canadian kit with the Whitby completion kit)
Ford 351W stroked to 427, EFI, TKO-600
3-link, 3.55
Baer brake upgrade
Big tall seats
Single roll bar (Breeze)
15" rims, Goodyear Billboards
Push button start and proximity key
Quick release steering wheel
Also plan on widening drivers footwell

Not sure how you post smaller images...

Ian, those size images are fine!

Sound like our builds are similar. I'm looking forward to watching your progress!

Are those Baer brakes going to clear the 15" wheels?

:)

Dave,
I will double check. I originally wanted 17" so maybe they won't fit!

Wooo, push button start, that's cool. Keep us updated on your progress.

Ian, whose "Push button start and proximity key" are you using?

[CraigS]

W that much engine I'd think about 331/327 or even 308 rear gear.

I agree...

I went with what seemed to be most common, plus my engine builder recommended 355. What will be better about 308/331 etc?

I found this product, and will investigate more further down the build...

You will have a 1st gear that you can actually use. It doesn't take much to make a cloud of smoke with the rear tires.

The conclusion in my other thread is that there is no way to know for sure before driving it. So, like others, I will go with the 3.55 and see how I like it, and maybe change later.
