rear end is a 9" ford.
I'd guess it weighs about 2000 lbs with me in it (I'm 250).
It went pretty straight for not being aligned. At about 30% throttle it breaks the tires loose! I need to put on some sticky meats.

I'm sure with some chassis/suspension works that thing gonna fly on the track

That's nice, the Brits would be proud, turning their 4 cylinder into a death dealing 8.

Good Job and good luck.
