Boru---Thanks.By the way;I love the Cherokee and never would
have looked at one,I just couldn't pass up the price on that one!
Diva---You want vibrations?When I lived in Conn.;I built a car that
was;strictly;for the Drag Strip.It was a Willys frame,Henry J body,
and a built-up Ford "426"Tunnelport eng.It had an Art Carr hydro-
stick(the first racing autos')You used the clutch;off the line;and then shifted without it.It had an;approx.25%eng. setback for wt.
transfer.It had many other mods.One time;I was going through
the 1/4mi.;and going through 2cd;I felt a vibration.It felt like a high-speed wobble on a bike.I skipped 3rd gear and just accelerated through 4th.I coasted through the end of the strip &
down part of the return road.While I was waiting for my tow
vehicle;I got out to servey what had happened.The welds on my
traction bars had broken!The only thing holding the rear end in was the shocks and driveshaft.I had turned 140mph. flat.That's
vibration! Irish
P.S.I never checked the H.P.;but the Holmon&Moody race team&
Eng. builders had an eng. like mine that put out 750hp. on a
dynomometer.They had one 4bbl.carb less&a one step milder camshaft
than me.I don't know about cars but if you hit the brakes;in a high
speed wobble on a bike;you go down.You just grit your teeth &
accelerate through it.

Saddaddy---I know how you feel!I miss my 68 Firebird H.O.(high
output)also.My best friends father&Granfather; in my hometown
in Conn.; owned the Pontiac Dealership.I practically grew up in that garage.(hence;my love for Pontiacs.)After High School;he was
a salesman there and gave me many things for cost.He was the
salesman on my Firebird and I ordered everything by part #.
Eng. block,heads,camshaft,valves,pistons,gear ratio,transmisson,
tires,wheels,etc.I paid about 1/5 the price of the 99GrandAm Ram-
Air that I bought new;here;and it was twice the car.No plastic.
Alas;nothing lasts forever!My buddy drank himself to death so I
guess that I won't get any cars from him! Irish
P.S.I have another car and a motorcycle that's not exactly stock!
