What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?
Dolmetsch:
Yesterday after finishing the new trailer I actually did a few small things on my 318 Poly FED.
Plan to spend a couple of hours a day finishing the welding and steering. We will see how that goes. Also have to finish the headers from my HB slnt six tunnel ram. I was tempted to leave things as they are but even the BB block are just getting by me 4 to 5 normal car lengths. Sometimes I feel I could almost reach over and slap them. Biggest restirction now on the slant six is the intake manifold. (old Offy which is untuned and not equal length and a bit small (or was). New tunnel ram uses two 500 Holley 2 brlls and is tuned for 6000RPM with a genous taper from plenum to port. Because of the way it fits I have to make a whole new set of included headers to go with it. I have made a good stab at it but it will get about 1 hr per day till done. If I can squeeze 40 hp extra( which may be too generous to expect)I can spank these BB lads heads up (again!). I want everything working perfect BEFORE I go to the track so I had better get to it.

Looks like a very professional workbench for working on the transmission.

It's a very handy tool and it was easy to build . I used 2inch wide flat stock and welded spacers in between It wiil fit most any trans pan or rear end chuck . The round tube is the same size as my engine stand so it will fit that as well . It's one of those tools you don't use that often but when you do it makes the job a lot easier

I looks like it would also work in an engine stand
