RE: yankin the front tires?
you wont yank the wheels for many reasons. a stock 351w isnt anything impressive. stock control arms in the rear, your going to have a hell of a time putting power down. the 4 banger rear springs are softer then stock v8 springs so your loosing traction there. when you run 4 banger springs its only the front. you want stiff springs in the rear not soft ones. 351w is a little heavier so your at a dissadvange there. you dont mention gears so if you dont have lower gears you wont have a chance. you dont mention the tranny but unless your dumping the clutch from a real high rpm or if you have an auto, a real high stall, you wont hit the tires hard enough. if the torque boxes arent inforced, you will rip them right out before you can do a wheely. and lastly, if you dont have a cage, or at least subframes, a lot of the engine's torque will be wasted twisting the chasis. also, because of the chasis being so flexable, the back may be trying to pull up but the middle bends and allows the front wheels to stay on the ground

even subframes arent enough to keep the body from twisting if you have the power to do wheelies.
3.55's arent going to cut it.
what stall speed? with your set up id say the stall would have to be 3500+ but even then it would take a miracle to get the front wheels up
