Lift what is the lift thing you speak of? Hey that's a cool ride and I know all bout getting in and out of a digger. At 59 getting in is easy gravity helps, getting out requires a few grunts.

Front Engine Dragsters / Re: Battery Placement on a FED

My battery is mounted in the open behind the seat. But that was easy as it's a K88 style knock off. The tech guy at the local track seemed okay with it's placement.

Front Engine Dragsters / New-Old Guy

« on: October 26, 2014, 05:47:32 AM »

Hello I'm the new "Old Guy" here. My digger came to me as an in front of the barn find in 1995 we got it racing again in 1997. It was first powered by a blown 6 carb 322 Nail Head. I've run 151 CID Pontiac and a Chevy II style 4 cylinder stroked to 171 CID as well as the current 283 Chevy. A shorty glide and an Olds rear round out the power train. It's run a best of 7.53 in the 1/8.
