In the early '80's I switched from Keystones to Centerline Auto Drags. I was still working on weight reduction. It took a while before I accepted the Centerline look, but eventually I did, the pics do look good. After all the years, I would say the Keystones were the best appearing on my '65...

I do have to say it does take a little getting used to the look. But when you do they do look great. All depends on what YOU like.

I'm sure all the Centerlines I used in all sizes were DOT certified. Edit: Mine were in the early '80's. The DOT certification was one of their main selling points. Not sure what their later models were like.

I ran Centerlines on my drag cars for many years. They were always certified for street use.

Gee I like it except for the stupid spoiler.

to each their own.

I ran the Centerlines on my drag car for many years, They are a very clean line. Look great.

Would be one of my most desirable rides. A bit of freshen up and WOW.

The price is ALWAYS in the eye of the buyer. A 9 1/4 is a very stout rear axle. A drum to drum in good shape with the 3.90 limited slip, is probably worth a fair amount if it's an auto version, not truck. The $ 1,500 seems a bit high, but...

Beep, I'm on the other side. If our front wheel drive loses traction, you've lost steering, may or may not re-gain control. With my '70 Barracuda, limited slip, in the snow I could kick the back end out either direction 45* and still maintain steering control. Ice is a whole different deal. IMHO

Ice is a real bad thing. But snow can be handled. Got to learn how to drive. My '70 Barracuda with good snow tires drove me all over the upper midwest in the snow to go ski racing. As Clint said though, "ya gotta know your limitations".

The Sled City Max Wedge scoop I looked at was very nice quality. I think he makes Six Pak scoops. I am very happy with my Hemi scoop from AAR, excellent quality. I'm pretty sure they make the '69 scoop also.

I was a downhill ski racer in the '70's. Races every weekend all around MN, WI, the UP, and three or four weeknights locally. My '70 Barracuda, although not an ideal snow car, got me where I needed to go. I had snow tires that worked very well and sometimes a little extra weight in the trunk...

Ya, you gotta learn how to drive in the snow and have the correct tires.

I guess that might have seen a high speed timing chain failure. Maybe the nastiest over rev and valve contact. Over the years I broke many valve springs and could see perfect light contact marks in the valve notches, no dents or bent valves.

Not factory pistons or any sort of normal aftermarket I've ever seen. If you can find the steel shim gaskets, use them. The 452 head is about 3-4 CC's larger than the stock 906 in general so the stock steel gasket is a better choice CR wise.

Follow post #2. Just take the bolt from the other side bracket, match it as close as you can at the hardware store, the length may vary a bit, get a grade 5 or 8.

Good point.

I always just drop the trans out first, then pick the motor. To each their own.

Like I've always said "crazy electrons". I never know what they're doing!
