I did my gearvendors instal by myself, it's very doable! Shortening the driveshaft is the next hurdle. I recently heard that we don't have anyone local doing drivelines anymore, heard we have to go to Kingman now.
Or Vegas, there are a few guys up there that do it.

80 for this car would be 4100 RPM and I’m just not willing sustain that 😂

I don’t have aspirations of major road trips with it, but I would like to be able to take it to Kingman / Bullhead / Vegas for shows etc.

I’d love to do the Power Tour West with it this year but we will see if work has other ideas.

Adam's drive line in Henderson has always treated me very well.
That is who some of my 4x4 buds go to, very happy with their work. When I finally have some time to install my Gear Vendor for my F350 they will be doing the 1 piece driveshaft.

Trailering you car or Harley is gay. What’s the point of going to an event if you don’t drive the fun toy.
Drive a car with a a blower on it a few hundred miles, 3 miles to a gallon... The heat generated by the blower, stop and go traffic does not work . A cruiser would be fine to drive ,or a very mild set up.....anxiety driving a race car on the street for that long is not fun.

I get it, it is pretty cool how the Drag Week guys get it done though.
