I should’ve mentioned that I can’t put the watts in . Is a 98-02 still my best option?

Some say yes. They have weaker humps due to the holes for the watts. Id rather run 97 amd older

That's about all anyone runs in 80s shows around here are 07+for the steel lowers. Once you get steering and make a cradle to fit sbc they are cheap and easy cars to run. Keep changing cradle car to car and run 80s a arms on uppers and spindles. They all run homemade square tubing bumpers and drive forward all night. They are trickier to build than 97 an older but nose to nose 03 all day. You just have to learn that your night can be over much quicker in 03 than the older vics. Front wheels are much weaker being aluminum cradle
