I told you guys that I intended to switch the FE out of the race truck and put the blown alcohol hemi in. Ended up getting a whole new car. This will be nice because I can drive the car while I build the truck.

There are also a couple of pics of the truck in there too, so it's really not off topic!

Well Scoot ya did it again !! Ya never fail to go top notch !! That Hot Rod Is Bad A$$ !! Is the chassis all Moly ? Or just a moly back half ? It looks to be very well put together ! and Purdy too !!

I take it your not going to run that at you neighborhood Airport Drag Strip ! Is that a Bird Catcher Hat on it ? Ya the Digger looks like a BB in a shoe box in the new shop !!

Any build spec's ya wanna give up on the motor ? I hope you have a couple guys lined up to sign for your license for the class... Whats the chassis cetified to run at... Hell I've got a million questions..I shoud have just emailed you...

Congrats Bro ! That ride will keep Kenny out of the Bars for years to come ! J/K Did you end up buying the guys whole Race Program ....

 

Hey Russ,

I'm pretty sure the entire chassis is moly. It was backhalved recently so it could run a lenco or a powerglide. It's got the Mike's glide now.

The hat is an Enderle Big and Ugly. It sticks up farther than a bird or Buzzard.

I am going to get my feet wet right here at our little strip. I doubt I can give it all She's got, but at least I can get some cheap seat time, and not embarras myself when I go to the strip in Salt Lake City.

I don't know which bore/stroke combo it's running yet. 4.375x4.375 or 4.31x4.5. I'm gonna pull it apart soon to check everything out, so I'll let you know what I find. The guy says it got a new crank, rods, pistons, pins, valves, springs, and re-stripped blower 17 runs ago.

All I bought from him was the car and some consumeables. Belt, plugs, sensor wires, and a couple of new pullies to speed up the blower if I want. The fuel system will be sent off to Spike Gorr over the winter too, so he can set me up with a tuneup for here and one for SLC.

The only thing about the car that I don't like is they let it sit in Oklahoma for 2 years and didn't oil the chassis. So I'll be spending the winter knocking a patina of surface rust off parts of the chassis. Oh well. What else do you do in Wyoming in the winter?

Wow, I caught myself daydreaming about that monster pushing the highboy down the strip..........I puckered in the chair in the living room.....

THAT is gonna be an AWESOME ride!

You wanna adopt me? I split wood like a mad fiend........

 

That's a really nice ride. Very cool Hemi and all the best with your new racing venture. Keep us all in the loop on how it runs. The shop looks great too!

 

Borrowing a quote from the junior public, "it's awesome!!!"

(Guess I'm not old enough to say "It's swell !!!")

 

LOL..Nope John ya still didnt get it right !! The kids today say "Thats Sick" Meaning COOL !!

 

Darn....you're right. My son says that all the time....I should have known. And then I see on the net the youngsters using "uber" whihc I think means "super".

So,, it's an uber swell, awsome, sick dragster.

I do like that supercharger. I must tinker with one of those some day. Ever since I saw "Road Warrior", they've impressed me.
