I think you'd be surprised on what you can make work. Take into consideration the track tends to stay tacky, so you don't need all the bells and whistles to be hooked. Feel free to call me as well.

We run TSLMS rules. so you can pretty much run what you have. After all you gotta start somewhere. Driver/handling is most important. Motor isnt everything. You can checkout the rules on SOS website... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtracer82 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I ran a mono leaf coil over car last year, but it didn't weigh quite that much. Put the car on a little diet and u should be good. If not there are a few true late models around here for sell for a decent price. I paid 2500 for mine as a full roller from louisiana this past year. As for the motor everybody has something a little different. Any questions feel free to call me at 361-564-4431. Jarrod #82 late model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJonesLLM69 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hey drew move ur motor back and come out. That's one thing that will help. And hell I have no sponsors it hard times but when is it cheap. I have a 3 link car for sale . It's still set up for LLM but the only things needed to be changes for late model is moving the motor mounts and engine plate back . For motor don't worry about motor u got good motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJonesLLM69 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Were running the same motor as we did at 37 and in corpus . Just stuck a big ole gas guzzlen 4bbl on here. All steel motor with a victor Jr. Intake . The only difference between are cars is motor placement and a 4 link with quick change and its a full tube chassis .

team32 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 My 2cents, if you are going to run the latemodel class, you should have a latemodel chassis. Those heavy stock clip cars will rip right through a full tubing latemodel. I know from experience.. Â The last thing this class needs is more bent up cars sent to the bone yard.

I agree with Ricky,best to stay with a full tube chassis. Seen some bad stuff happen. I know of a couple of 4 bar cars sitting around growing roots. If you drive one of these cars, you will never wanna drive anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
