[V8Vairs] Front Suspension Settings... / car!

[v8vairs@corvair.org]

Worked on it this weekend.  I built the front suspension, and put the 
engine, rear axle, and fuel cell into the car temporarily so that I can 
mock up the headers and engine cover.  It is actually setting on the 
wheels, and rolls, which is quite a thrill for me.  The tallest rear axle 
ratio that I could get for the reverse rotation Ford 8.8 inch rear end is 
a 3.31:1.  I would have liked a bit taller, closer to a 3.00, but was not 
to be.  Rear tires are 26" tall, so acceleration should be adequate, and 
mid-range highway throttle response should be crisp.

Doug!  I hope you get this done soon!    With the availability of rear 
gears[ 
 toro / eldo  shortcoming ]  this should be a screamer!

What gear will you start with?
