New motor for my FED
« on: February 07, 2013, 05:02:07 PM »
This is my new motor for my dragster, 4.6 DOHC Ford. Hopefully I can get the manifold,crank support, motor plate and trans adapter built and the motor and trans installed before the season begins.

Interesting!

We have great resources here on Front Engine Dragsters.

We have three gentlemen that have stepped up to host questions in their particular area of expertise.

In the Technical category you will find;

Spuds Miller’s Cave where you can ask questions of and get answers from Spud Miller of FIE (Fuel and Ignition).

Roo Man's Room where you can Ask questions of and get answers from Keith Burgan of Roo Man Motor Sports / Vintage Racing Supply (Steering, Suspension, Chassis, Fabrication, Racing History)

Matt Shaff's Engine Shop where you can ask questions of and get answers from Matt Shaff of Pro-Formance Specialties (Engine)

These are great resources unique to this forum, and free to members of the forum.

Nice, I'm facing a crank support issue also for my next engine and have little support from the after market as it is a Pontiac. I do not have to face that until this winter though, hopefully.

We are in the same boat, There is nothing made for these mod motors but it is a challenge and I think the visual impact is killer(I hope it will run). A couple of friends of mine or real pontiac nuts: Monty Ditmer of Montiac Motorsports, montiac2000@hotmail.com and Brad Thompson,  His info is on his Facebook page. He has an altered wheelbase GTO that is pretty cool.
