Thumbs Up

Once again, I find my fun projects on the backburner as I fund a much needed bathroom remodel and my 99 Cherokee has developed a nasty whirling grinding noise from the rear during the drive back from Denver!  Cry

Looks like you can do just about whatever for the class you want to race. Knowing people who have road raced AMC V8's, Id definitely recommend a dry sump sytem if allowed. Keep those pictures coming and hope you get it racing soon!

Dry sump is not in the budget right now.  Plan is to us a Canton road race pan and upgrade to a dry sump at a later date.
 
Thanks,

That's a thought. I'll think about it. Most of the pictures aren't on the computer, I'll have to find them. It was done before I even had a computer or digital camera. I got them in Jan. 2001. The car was done  in '97 thru '99.  I got the car from a wrecking yard, July '97, hence the name 'junkyarddog'. Smile

Ok, starting to see some progress.
 
Aluminum flywheel arrived a few days ago from Tim Hyatt at Hyatt Racing.
 
Kirkey road race seats are being mounted.  Adjustability provided by Sparco.
 
Cage should be going in this week.
 
More to follow.
 
Thanks,
 
Scott
