I used to drag race some. I never actually built a real drag car but I have built some hot rods.....Here is a pic of the last one I built about 7 or 8 years ago. I sold it about 5 years ago. Attachment 84485
Fine looking car. More and larger pics would be good.Quote:

I LOVE THEM RAT RODS THEY CALL THEM NOW!Beside fishin I love anything that has to do with cars, trucks, and boats.G, that car is way cool for sure. How long did it take you to build?

We could use a bigger pic G ,That ones kinda hard on the eyes.
I spent about 4 years building it. Its the real deal....the body and frame is a 1930 Model A Ford. I boxed and beefed up the original frame....I chopped 4 inches out of the top and filled the roof. Chevy disc brakes on the front.....Chevy rear end.....350 Chevy motor putting out about 335 HP.....350 Turbo trans......MustangSteering box and a Camaro steering column. Pete and Jakes four bars front and rear. Heres a bigger pic. Attachment 84486
That would look good flat black with the old hot rod flames. When I get back from fishin tomorrow I will find some of my pics.

Attachment 84687It's just a bracket car.Have run it a time or two in NHRA 10.90 Super Street sportsman class.On a good day it will go 8.80's .(533 BBFand a glide,no bottle)It's got fiberglass doors so I wanted a little more pipe around my a$$
Nice lookin car.
Thanks...it is 4sale.... good power but the fuel mileage ain'tso good and no a/c hahahah
No thats OK . Quit 11 years ago and sold everything. Not going back. Way too much traveling.
With that big ole dominator up there I can see why? What lift cam?
OLD GEEZER FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
Around .700 lift/268 duration roller....It's got pro stock cylinder heads that flow around 480cfm on the intake and 340 on the exhaust,doesn't need much cam. I have $22 grand in this motor...makes 860hp@7100 rpm.I had 500hp two stage plate/fogger nitrous set up for it but sold it thinking I wanted to go with EFI/turbocharger.I wanted a reliable 1600-1800hp. I had moved the engine back as far as I could making room for all the turbo stuff....then things changed(as life does) and I lost interest,took up fishing!
Just look at all the money you saved
What cubes a 460ci.What horsepower?It's amazing what a couple turbo's can do as far as making horsepower!Old Kenny Duttweiller makes some huge hp with small displacement.Seen the 2013 cobra mustang? 200+mph, 650 hp off the assembly line! Dyno'd it for 250 hours at 6,500rpms. It ran flawlessly. The exhaust manifolds looked like they were gonna liquify!The only car quicker than this Mustang is a Bugatti that sells for over 1.5 million dollars and makes it a non assembly line car!!

It's a 533cid BBF 860hp@7100. The turbos and an ice to air intercooler would double that easily. My idea was 7.80's with a mild tune-up that would hot lap if I needed it to.If I can sell the car for what I payed for my boat...I'll be happy.
You know that IHRA and Hot Rod Drag Week is coming to Memphis Motor Sports Park. Drag Week will be Sept.13th.There will be some 6 second cars making a 1,000 mile drive back and forth to each track ending in Tulsa,OK. I NEED A NITRO BUZZ!!

I really miss NHRA coming there.I never took this car,but tuned a super stock L class mustang for a friend that competed in division 4.
