I bought this 1983 t-type regal about a year ago andthe guy I bought it from said ;it will go somewere in the 11's in a 1/4 mile at the drag strip if the tires hook up. but it has a 7.5 posi rear with 3:42 gear ,I was told 7.5 gm rear ends are weak and won't hold up on the strip so I am going to put a 9 inch ford with a 3:73 gear with a detroit locker my father inlaw has built 1/4 mile cars and he wants to cut the rear frame out and custom build a narrowed rear frame section and he said the best way is to cut out the trunk area. I really don't want to but the tires that were on the car were rubbing the frame when I bought the car .what would be the best solution my father inlaw said 18 inch tires won't hook up at the track because there is no side wall like a 15 inch tire .Is this true?
