fed weight

(1/9) > >>

noslin:
What is the guess for 225'' fed with blown 426 8-71 alum block and heads.  No dry sump tank. Glide 9" .  Im guessing about 1800lbs

Yes Ty, you are close, depending on the rest of the car. The NHRA Heritage rules for A/fd [ injected nitro or blown alky] have a min weight, with driver is 1875 lbs. I thinks it's 1850 with a PG.
And the blown 426 style with either PG or Lenco drive, with dry sump, and full body weigh about that.   
Brad Peters [ John Feight Train, son] just picked -up their new Neil & Parks  7.0 Pro/ A/FD that will be running Brad Anderson/ AJP blown alky engine. They are hoping to have it ready at CHRR.
Wayne Ramay, our ex JF driver,  is waiting for N & P to build his FED to run blown alky AJP 426 style engine.

I hope this helps,
Jon

My 200" blown SBC, dry dump, clutch, with a 3 speed, and me in it is 1800 lbs

dreracecar:
426 motors are boat anchor heavy  100# more then a alu 417 Donovan
 My 193"  Blown alu SBC with a glide and 9"   1650# with driver and 120# lead on the nose.
Except for the Alu front spindles which were given to me, did not work at trying to make it lite, just did not add all the junk (GL notice I did not say &#@$) that people seem to want to put on their cars today.

Most fun day of my build was when I first weighed my 200 in SBC dragster--it weighed exactly 1320 lbs on the nose--I smiled pretty big on that one!
