SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan

[69 Post Sedan]

Mike, here's an overview of my build.

It's a fully balanced 402+.040 (410ci), M22W trans and 4.56 gears. Stock cast crank, 3/8" truck/thumb rods, custom Ross pistons, 077 aluminum heads, Comp Cams solid roller camshaft (.640/.647 lift-.236/.242 dur.), Edelbrock TM2R intake and a Holley 950hp.

The motor runs on pump gas as the compression is around 10.4. The horsepower is around 450-475. I'd like to pull it this winter, freshen it up, then run it on the dyno again as Gary Soderberg, my engine builder from SRL Motorsports, has a lot more experience on it then 5 years ago.....we could really spend some time on the dyno and dial the motor in better.

I purchased these Ansen Ground Grabber traction bars a few months ago from a member.

I wasn't sure if I was going to use them on but today I decided to at least install them and try them out.

The ride is a little more stiff but that's due to no bushings at either end. I really do like the look.

I will leave them so I have full suspension while on the street and probably will at the strip too as my shocks, air bags and no-hop bars seem to work very well.

What do these bars accomplish? How do they work?

They look cool:-)

Biggest impact they have is moving the instant center of the rear suspension rearward, which should make the tires hit even harder. They do look cool, but I'm guessing they will make the car more violent and tougher to launch.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

There are bolts that screw up and down to either allow or stop any travel on the lower control arm.

This will help for better weight transfer and bite.

True on the bolts, but the real clincher here is how much the rear pivot has been lowered compared to the factory location on the rear axle. This is what creates the desired 'hard hitting' effect.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe it will increase my 60' times.......? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

One of the mechanics at the Sunoco I pumped gas at had a DAY-2 67 Chevelle, he had these in his car, said they were clunky and had me throw them in the scrap bin:-(

I should have kept them:-(
