“i had a 1983 pontiac grand prix from 1992 until 2003, but it wasn’t anywhere near the level this car is right now.

How to build a g body drag car. Steps to build your first drag racing car first step: Small block chevy, aftermarket crossmemeber to allow dual exhausts and the larger, 700r4 transmission, and so on. Join eric malone and team 256 as they.

Remember, the camber curve in the metric g body cars is an issue as well as bump steer. To help tie things together — we bent up one more bar in the shape of the front of the torque box. Trying to build a drag car.

It’s a beautiful thing if your car can produce massive amounts of horsepower, but what good is it if you can’t put all of that power to the ground? The most common problem you hear from a drag racer, or any kind of racer really, is traction. They can also build a chassis jig if they want to,” burke says.

Frame rails were cracked and had been patched numerous times. Get sticky tires if you have a solidly running car and want to head to the track, the very first thing to add is a set of sticky tires. That is for the roadsters, altered, and dragsters.

During a visit to the local junkyard he spotted this malibu on a trailer with no title, engine, or drivetrain, and a $300 price tag. Weight reduction is usually the cheapest and best option. Trim the weight by around 240lbs and you'll be hitting a 10.48 second 140mph time.

We bought the car on racing junk in the top picture as a roller, traded a 64 el camino for a scott shafiroff 540 on racing junk as well, rebuilt the engine to handle 3 kits w/ a glide behind it, in the effort to get the weight down to the 3000pd mark for drag radial competition we went with a glass deck lid, doors and clip, the bottom picture. For a lighter car the power figure is lower but for a heavier car the power requirement goes up. Trailing arms go right back in and no suspension bind.

However, there was room to grow. When you get in the car it will change the settings to some degree but it depends on 1) position of the driver and 2) total weight of you and equiptment. His very first build was based around the platform, so he’s stuck to it ever since.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. Whether the car will be a daily driver, either during or after the buildup, greatly affects the choice of a starting point, as well as what modifications are suitable. This car was team 256’s first exercise in the crazy experiment.

Caster needs to be over 4 degrees and is prefered at 4.5 degrees positive. “you can build a jig with materials from a scrap yard by making two parallel rails leveled off a garage floor.
