Hi
Looks pretty good! I have the same pictures of my Pacer. I can remember, its a lot of work!
What size are your tires? I have 15 x 15 Wheels with 17,5x32x15 Tires. That is realy huge.
Do you stretch the Wheelbase?
I have go back with the Wheels arround 3" at my car.
So i have more space at the front of the wheelhaus especial on the right side.
And a little more Wheelbase on a Pacer is not a bad idea in my opinion.
Greetings Dom

Hi
Yes for sure! Drive AMC only with AMC Power.
Its a 401 .30 over
Transmission is a TH400 out of an Wagoneer with 2WD Tail housing.
Header are the 1 7/8 from Dougs but i have to change a lot because of the crossmember of the Pacer. Also i have a lot problems to fit the steering thru the headers.
In my opinion it is better to cut the frontend away and build a new Frontclip. It is much lighter and you have more space. The front section is not realy useful for a racecar.

Hi
The Brake is still with Booster. It does not help realy because of the big cam. You have to push the pedal hard, but the car stopps well. I have Disc brakes front and rear.
The Rack is the stock part but it is plugged. So it is manual.
