I bet 3 years from now you may wonder about the 20"---at the very least now PLAAN how you may stretch the eng. bay if you need to.

Hi Rouse

Just lookiing at your early hemi engine have you talked to the guys at ' Hot Heads ' as the bought the alum heads package from my friend Jerry Brady who built the heads in the 80's, they were for the 353-392 and Donaven 417 blocks.

At the time a lot of the nhra Alky dragsters ran them but now enough to make worth while to keep build them, and before the street rods deal took off

Just might give you some extra hp in your neat racer

No, since I was no longer running the early engine, I didn't have any need. The fact that there are still folks out there running them is fascinating, to say the least.
The ones we ran was a -92 over .060 with -54 heads. The engine made better power with the 54 heads, but we had to run 1/2" spacers for the manifold to fit.

What kind of engine will you be running now in the new car?

CHANGES TO REAR END

Have now set up the Watts linkage to the front of the Q.C.





Decided to junk the Wide 5 rear hubs and go back to G.N. floaters as this makes it practical to swap tire and wheel combos with other racers in our LSR group.





Also started to mock up the front suspension.

Is it just me, or do you have one heck of a lot of scrub radius set up in your front end?

Hi Rouse,
Whilst the camera angle makes the scrub radius look greater, the hub/wheel combo shown gives a + 3.3" which will not work for us.
The positive side is that the wheels are only on loan for set up and we plan to go up to 28" tires with negative offset rims to get as close to zero SR as possible.

I usually don't stick my nose where it don't belong, but there are times when I see things that just forces me to ask.

Kinda like seeing a friend on a bridge railing tied to a Bungee cord, I can't help but ask if he's sure that's what he wants to do. If he says yes, I just ask if I can watch. :-D

That SR would probably work good on a racing go-kart though.

The main reason for posting my build on this forum is to get feed back from you guys "who have been there and done it".
All criticism (& hopefully help) is greatly appreciated. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Been a while since my last posting but have still been working towards being ready for shakedown runs in 2014.

Sorted out the front end as far as getting the scrub radius down to near zero and will be running 16" ZR rated tires for the testing and (hopefully) up to the 200MPH mark.





Running brakes both ends as we plan to run on mile and kilometer tracks as well as the salt.
