Hi Fedonnitro,

No, not Halibrands but Romeo Palamides wheels. I just started another Flathead project in addition to this dragster. It's a 50's style wood hydroplane boat similar to the one in this picture. Nothing extreme with the engine for it, just a few standard hop ups.

Neat.

andrewb:
As I sit here an wait on my crankshaft and cam (6 months and counting) there's not a lot more I can do on the engine. I decided on pulling parts together for the rear end. I ordered the Mopar Performance Aluminum Case ('742' style). I plan on going with the Mark Williams aluminum spool and axles. I'm going to start out running 3.55 gears and have found 3 manufactures of them: Motive, Nitro, and Yukon. Are any of the makers better than the other. Are there any US made ring and pinion gears. I'm kind of limited with the ratio I'm running.

Thanks,

Andrew

What needs to be considered is that the gears you are looking at street or race gears, If they are street gears then they need to be softened up a little for impact resistance instead of hard for longevity

andrewb:
Bored. Slow work week and I'm waiting for parts. Decided to name my future FED.
