Glenn's dragster thread

--- Quote from: George on February 04, 2018, 01:23:11 PM ---If we pull the engine we take it all . That is motor,midplate convertor ,transmission and the male side of the coupler. In the same way. Most of the wiring and cables run around the midplate in a notch on the starter side rather than thru it.
--- End quote ---
I had not thought of that. I will have to look at the locations and accessibility of the bolts that hold the mid plate to the dragster.
A little change in pace.
In this video I show you a simple how to way to avoid the expensive Mylar protective sheets sold to protect the inside of the safety glass of your Sand Blast cabinet.

I purchased some headers off Fee-Bay to use on the dyno.
Dyno is now done and it is time to try and pass them on.
These are Hedman Hustler racing headers that fit Ram Air IV and Edelbrock heads. 1967 thru 1969 Firebird.
Engine Size: 6.6L/400, 6.9L/421, 7.0L/428, 7.5L/455
They were poorly represented on Fee-Bay as to their condition so I need to clean them up.
Prior to this video I had sand blasted them and painted them to make them more presentable, something I would allow to be bolted onto the engine.
This is the second pass at them to fix problems before I list them on Fee-Bay, here is the link to that project.
This is the link to the Fee-Bay listing

Glenn – well thought out comments by Brian. Huge step up his “anvil” reference versus boat anchor. With anvil you put the hammer to it and beat on it : ) You can tell by what he wrote he got soft spot for Pontiacs. For $13K and new rebuild, certainly is attractive. Would be nice alternate, the 1949 Gasser. Alan
p.s. Enjoyed seeing your videos; worthwhile and a lot of time to make.

I have an engine in the 49. a 454 chevy. the idea for the 49 is sometime in the future it will be left at the track between weekends and just be an easy vehicle to go racing with.
