Used Cup Parts

[JohnLClark]

After seeing the Chevelle/modifed car being built, I was wondering what parts from cup cars can be used. I know the site Musclemotorsports.com has used parts. What can I used on a street car?

lots of good stuff... brakes (esp if you want something that will fit in a 15" rim with inexpensive slicks); on the motor side, the cup stuff is now pretty specialized, but the 18 degree heads of the chevy busch cars and modifieds are streetable if you plan on a lot of cam to make use of them. Depending on where you are in the country, check with some of the local engine builders that do mid-level nascar stuff-- Busch East (was north) have gone to the LS motors, same with ASA. A lot of the busch teams were selling complete 18 degree head motors for a steal. ($8-12k).

I bought a complete 9" Ford center section set up with a Detroit Locker and 4.11 gears for $550. It would be tough to beat that price.

What happened to Jack Roush's on-line store of used NASCAR parts? I can't seemed to find it.

Check davejensenent, they sell alot of used cup stuff. I have bought a lot of sb2 stuff because they don't run them anymore

ASA has not used LS engines in a long time.

Well, that just goes to show how much I've been following the circle track crowd lately! They don't come our way, so last time I saw an ASA race was a few years back.

I have bought several items from this place. Got a GREAT deal on a Griffin radiator for my car. I also picked up a complete road course exhaust system I plan to use/modify on my 67 'Bird. The road course systems exit both sides in front of the wheels which is what I want.

Now if I can only finish my garage so I can get back to work on my car ... LOL

I always thought the driveshafts available on musclemotorsports looked good, if you can find the dimensions you need.

That will be my next purchase from them...

Just be careful with the driveshafts. They are HUGE. Cup shafts use 4" tubes, but they are thin wall. Usually .065".

how about a roadrace rear end with centre section (dont need brakes)with about a 3.25 gear?.....any idea what that would be worth?

[HarleyR]

The housings are everywhere... but you'd have to be sure you wanted the speedway style hubs since the housings come standard with them as well as truck arm style rear suspension..

I have a 2000 Hutch/P 110" Monte that Im going to put my 69' chevelle body on and make a street/track car.......theres a thread in the "project updates" fourm.......it needs a roadrace rear......doug

[HarleyR]

Ok, The new COT'S run a straight up housing no offset.. I belive theres still some offset in a older housing..... whats your budget?

[shortrack]

I really dont know what they're worth.......
