Front Engine Dragsters / Re: Nut protection.

« on: April 08, 2015, 02:15:18 PM »

Not in a front engine but my street rod I pulled the pinion support with half the carrier straight out and folded the drive shaft in two! Big mess! It torn every gear off the crown apart from 3, not one part exited the rear of the 9 inch housing but it did put a couple dents in it but I think they only got there because loose parts got jammed.
I'm building a front engine now and I'm not bothering with anything extra.

Roo Man's Room / New chassis build.

« on: November 22, 2014, 05:48:00 PM »

Have been wanting to build a front engine car for a long time and I have now accumulated alot of the parts and looking at many pics of chassis online, etc. I want to build a very period looking 180 inch 1968-1970 dragster but I want it as safe as I can, if I was to build it to the latest NHRA heritage series specs 2.2c I think it is for a front engine, would the chassis be to stiff for a blown alcohol combo?
Any thoughts or advice going into this is much appreciated, how far to go engine out etc...
Thanks

Wanted to buy / SPE front axle?

« on: November 22, 2014, 12:49:28 PM »

Hi, starting a new project and would love to have a SPE front axle, the early one with the 5 inch drop and curved would have to be my favorite, does anyone have one that they would be willing to part with? Thanks
