Well...   My Road Runner's plan changed...   no longer a 6 pack clone...    my friend has a 813hp 522ci Hemi that he wants to drop into it...     We'll be building the car - then selling it down the road -  I am worried about suspension though - subframe connectors, torque boxes are a mandatory thing IMO -

what else should be done ?  We want to stay away from a cage if we can

but the car will simply be mini tubbed and use leaf springs...        4" exhaust...   with cut outs...      should make a nice street car.   :2thumbs:

you can add a top link above the diff straight forward to the frame rail to control diff wind up , it works better than a pinion snubber

Tires/hookup are everything in this. 



Hook it up with slicks, and you've got plenty of power to bend the unibody already. 

Keep it in 8" wide street radials, and you're fine with SCs and torque boxes.

well the car will be up for sale - we will drive it around to work out the bugs and then just dyno it for some numbers...    We're thinking of borrowing a club member's nitrous system to add about 250hp...    again just for the dyno...
