Well this is what I spent my winter working on. I must say it’s going to be a fun summer. We thought about making dodge covers for the plugs wires but we are running a dodge body so figured no need lol enjoy

Awesome! That is way cool. Must be a great feeling. Pics of the body? When is your debut at the track?

I’m 6’2” and they have to stuff me in the car lol I don’t even think I would come out without seat belts without some preying lol. First time out took the blower belt off and broke some push rods. All else checked out okay so getting it ready for next weekend. Went 7.01 even kicking the belt off at about 1000 ft.

What kind of a rearend are you sitting on. My Friend has an old front engine dragster and believe it or not it had an 8 3/4 in it. That was scary enough but I was there the day his clutchflight blew apart and it was UGLY.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

It’s a fabed 9” per the rules.. blower is right it’s longer in the back but lines up fine with the ports .. thinking about leaning it out more .. it’s still really fat .. should have a 6.60 in it ..
