This was my 140 inch car
PSweeney:
I'm building a 138in car, it s a bracket car with period styling cues built ti run around 8.80's. It'll have near 40lb of weight on the axle, 10" tyre and a 3.70 gear to tame the launch but still rev to 7k through the stripe. No reason you can't build a build a short car for bracket / index racing
retroboy:
This sounds exactly what your're talking about. 140"wheel base, very tired 302 windsor, solid camshaft, Enderle injection, C4 trans, 3.7 diff gears, 28.5 x10.5 tyre. Leaves from idle, runs 6.1 over the eigth @ 7,000 rpm in second gear. Has no added weight other than it runs a battery.

How is this!
the shadow:
New to the site as a member, but been a lurker on here for awhile. just wanted to throw my $0.02 into the mix, how about a 98"wb!
I personally watched another 98" wb sbc injected Lyndwood (like mine pictured) rip off straight pass's in the 8.90's till the track said "no more" due to the style & age of the chassis. his set up was a 355 injected ,PG. He also added wheelie bars as these tend to stand up, but it hooked & went, later on he couldn't stop on a pass & hit a brick wall at 40-50 mph.
Back in the day my dragster ran A/D till about 1964 and ran consistently in the high 8's with the technology of the time.
