Hey Junk, Iwill take a look next week. I have the 2 Chumpers running the Sept 24 race. Gotta finish the watered cooled brakes and swap all of the axles, front bearings etc. One car is done the other just went inside today.

just a couple pics of my rabbit in action at Rockford Speedway, Rockford, IL at the Bahama Bracket Nationals. Started 21st in the feature and finished 4th....Qualified 6th out of 60...
that rly sucks german..here in central NY we have no such problem.we just have to compete aginst the hondas....right now Im working on getting a 84 Rocco ready for this year...
The only real difference I found out is that the cranks in the motors for dodge supplied by VW have one end machined differently(for clearance and/or for crank pulley issues) and thus there will be clearance issues.I guess the rabbits have a slightly wider engine compartment;so maybe a rabbit 1.7 may not fit w/o work into a dodge...I could also have this story reversed,but I do know there is a difference in the cranks between a 1.7 that was originally in a VW versus a 1.7 supplied by VW for Dodge.I dont remember where I read or saw this but I do know this story to be true..one way or another...lol...
Alittle slow here. last weeks pic, https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-R1ktBDZIHeo/TzgSCSY0LnI/AAAAAAABHEA/4sHzQZnSK8I/s640/IMG_0598.JPG

Gapless rings,005 PTW clearance. Some compression, good cam, 1.8, 100% steel body so far with 100% glass. About 40# over right now. @ 1940 empty.
locked diff, , 3mm toe out rear, 550 front springs, 350 rear , no bars. Goodyear SRF tires @36# PSI front 40 PSI rear .
The little hoosiers are 2 sec lap faster@ Sebring, but these wil work @ Daytona @ 40psi and the car should roll past the Honda by 8mph. Ihope.

Sorry I have not posted in a while...been living in Germany. Did make it back to Texas to race a couple times last year. Here is a short video I made to hype up the last race of last season. http://youtu.be/vovDY7botfo
hey does anyone here have any extra wheels to sell? I need at least 4 13" or 14" rims with a 4" backspacing;anywhere from 5 1/2 wide to 7" wide..I kinda prefer the 13"s...thanks!
How easy\hard is it to hook up that holley carb? Looks like a 2 barrel based on the single float, would a 4 barrel work any better?
