Re: [BaadAssGremlins] V8 question

You also need the factory gremlin V-8 motor mount beackets.

  And Bart the best application for dragracing is to get the stiffest front springs you can get, V-8 with air. You want less travel not more. If the front end is already up then there is less travel and the weight is mostly already transfered. Less movement up means less time wasted and a faster time.
