This is the chassis that was for sale in the classifieds on here. I'm really happy with the car so far. The chassis is nicely put together with a 21 inch hoop to fit a fat boy...lol    178 wheelbase. I used to bracket race a blown alky funny car so I'm going to use up my leftover engine pieces. It's a 526 bbc with a glide. I'm still undecided as to whether it's going to have a carb or injection. I'm just looking to put together something simple and low maintenance.

simplicity says fuel injection. carbs on alcohol are problematic from all i've seen.  MFI is crazy simple.
