Looks good!  Do you have a pinion snubber or anything else to help traction?
I'm putting together a car with about 500 hp, Dana 60, 2 inch lowering blocks, snubber, HD leafs.  Some people tell me the spring wrap with lowering blocks will be terrible. 
Obviously this is not a problem for you!  Nice job.

Ive constantly heard the same, but have never used drop blocks on a car. these look almost like the blocks themselves have been welded to the housing, as I dont see a regular spring saddle there.

No pinion snubber mopar chassie book says not to run them, I have 3" lowering blocks. The blocks have been welded to the housing. The best 60ft time with the smaller tires was 1.58 sec.
Reason for the lowering blocks is I dont like the back end sitting in the air, and should get better weight transfer. Also the lower the car is to
the ground the less air flow there is under the car. This year more horsepower  4 speed lol bash motorinstall
