School me on early 60's correct drives for FED's

I ran a late 50's chevy 3 speed with rev and 1st gear removed leaving 2-3 for a high low. I used this behind an injected 331 sbc and used to granny shift it from low to high at the track (just exhibition runs back in the 90's at local nostalgia events and goodguys events) I blew up 2 box's, chewed low gear (2nd) to shreds, after that I just left it in high gear and rev'd the xxxx out of it.  I dont race the rail anymore stopped in '96 but it worked. my rail originally had a direct drive unit in it back in 1960 I just couldn't afford to replicate it when I restored the car but wanted a period trans (not an automatic) that would have been run back then.

Shadow, what does your dragster weigh as it is in the picture?
