Thanks for responding Eric. I found a deal on a blower and manifold setup that I can't pass up for my project.

Wanted to buy / 4-71 blower
« on: December 07, 2015, 07:13:10 AM »
Not that I'm ready for it at this time but I thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone has a 4-71 blower that they want to sell. I don't need snout at this time as I'm unsure of the length needed.

So I should look for a blower already setup for alky than trying to convert one that's setup for gas.

Matt Shaff's Engine Shop / Blower setup for gas vs alcohol
« on: December 02, 2015, 08:23:48 AM »
Don't know much about blowers other than I want to run a 4-71 on my wife's Ford Flathead powered dragster I'm working on. I searched the web but didn't find any info on the difference between a blower setup for gas vs alcohol. We plan on running alcohol and the ones I've seen for sale so far say they're setup for gas. What's the difference in the setup?

If i'm reading the second sentence below right, which is found in all SFI Chassis Roll Cage specs. Anything other than the upper roll cage can be repaired.
II. Basic Construction Practices
9. No components may be clam-shelled in order to satisfy nominal outside diameter or nominal wall thickness requirements. Roll cage components (#1) above the upper frame rails (#4) may not be repaired by splicing, patching, clam-shelling, etc. according to generally accepted aircraft repair procedures.

Hi Roo,
Not sure if it’s ever been certified in the past. Yes, there are several changes that need to be made, many of which you pointed out.
To your last statement that the junction is in the spec area of the frame and is non-contiguous. I’ve read most of the SFI Chassis specs as well as the General Regs numerous times and haven’t found anything stating that this design is not permissible. Can you point me to where I’d find information regarding this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Going with an automatic instead of the B&J two speed. Gear ratio is 1.70. Bell housing was on a Chrysler. Asking $1000 for everything OBO. Would consider partial trade for a Mopar 8 ¾ spool for 30 spline axles.

Roo Man's Room / Frame question
« on: September 08, 2015, 08:15:10 AM »
First, this is a rear engine chassis but you guys the ones that know this stuff. Back story. Purchased this chassis for my wife to run a rear engine Ford Flathead. Really only need to go 9.99 and slower but would like to see if I can get it certified for 7.50 and slower. Original builder did a great job on the moly chassis but last owner was a hack.
My question is in regards to the lower frame rail. As you can see by the photo, the rear frame rail (#3) is butt welded to a cross brace the front seat support (#1) and its butt welded to the front frame rail (#2).
I’ve read the General Regs and the the 7.50 regs and (other than pictures) it doesn’t mention that the lower frame rail needs to be a continuous piece in the roll cage area.
Before I get too excited about working on this, I want to verify if this is a NHRA legal setup. I’m been trying to contact our local Tech guy but he just doesn’t seem to want to return calls. It’s worth the $100 to have him do an initial inspection before I continue.
Thanks,
Andrew

Steve,
We, or at least I, need lots more info on this build (valves, pistons, rods, stroke, transmission). You're sure have put a lot of work into that block.
