Leave the CR, cam and pistons alone, or you will be out of Street Prepared
and into Prepared, where the real race cars live.

Not obscure. Call Winner's Circle for sway bars and a Panhard rod.
216-333-4666

Since you have a 1974, you have round rear arches. Great for tire clearance!
About wheels, something just was posted on autox@atuox.team.net which may
interest you.

Hmm. That zip looks a little short. Should that be 03316?
I suggest 13x6 wheels with 185-60-13 BFG RI tires. (call 800-RACE-BFG)
A roundarch Spridget with these wheels, tires, and Winner's Circle
sway bars and Panhard will be amazing in handling.

The only size of autocross tire that makes sense on these cars is
185-60-13, IMHO.

Sure, I have some canned I can send you.
