Front Engine Dragsters / Header Question

« on: May 05, 2014, 04:07:54 PM »

 I have Brodix cnc 227 SBC heads with standard exhaust bolt pattern. The car I bought has zoomie headers with spread port pattern. I was told by a major header manufacturer that they can make adapter from a 6 bolt to a 7 bolt,but the center ports will not match up right.
Can someone chime in ?
I guess if I can not use will have to sell these and buy a set with standard.

Got the engine in today . Sure is a lot easier to work on then a door car. I did notice my heads are standard port and zoomies are spread port so will have to get adaptor plates. Waiting for custom radiator,fuel pump and surfer scoop to get here. I figure a couple weeks to hit the track.

This is what I have on my engine now. I guess the reason not to run is possible ground clearance ? Or is it something you can run a pan with a rear sump ?

Does anybody have an oil pan for SBC that are looking to get rid of. My oil pan from my door car might not cut it. What would be a good oil pan ?

Thanks for the info. everyone.Glenn what about the tubing you used to the engine from the radiator ?
I have a 434, gas, carb. Combination ,so I can get together and make runs. Then look at changing to a alky injection set up.

I am finally getting my front engine dragster. I want to put a radiator in it for rounds. What would you recommend that would fit between the rails ?

Altereds / Re: Head and Neck restraints, what are you using?

« on: March 11, 2014, 08:17:08 PM »

No ,difference. As far as neck, if you can afford get one of the neck restraints. I drove an Altered and just had a good neck collar, but not to thick. I wear the same in my door car.
