Ricci I have a master disconnect mounted on my chassis and I use a Morse cable to the back of the car . You do need some sort of electrical shut off in the rear of the car .

Let's see, made 3, quarter inch thick spacers to go between the torque conv. and flexplate, to compensate for the quarter inch thick motor plate. Then, the starter wouldn't bolt up to the block because of interference with the vertical next the motor plate. Removed .300 from the end of the aluminum block that the starter is mounted into. Problem solved! Then went out into the pasture and got my zero turn mower stuck .... Took my dually (4wheel drive) out into the pasture and got it stuck .....Called my neighbor and he brought his Lull extendaboom loader into the pasture and he got stuck . Turns out I was able to get the Lull unstuck because of previous experience operating similar equipment  .  Then with yours truly operating said machine, was able to pull pickup out of pasture and aforementioned zero turn culprit  . Lesson learned...should have just stayed in the shop and worked on the dragster and waited for summer b4 venturing forth into said pasture. SO HOW WAS YOUR AFTERNOON?

That's why God invented Drag Racing because it takes your mind off all the crappy thing's that happen

Worked on a new scoop mount today . I am going to try my anteater scoop again . The last time I had it on the car I could not see anything in front of me . I cut about 3 inches off the bottom and fiberglassed a plate inside of it
