Front Engine Dragsters / Re: "Starter" for a Blower

Glenn, I'm getting a good chuckle out of reading this thread . I think you're in for a surprise, a big surprise.  I can see you grinning and shaking your head as you look at your time slips, saying where the heck did that come from.  Then you start taking timing out and adding fuel and the s.o.b. just wants to go faster. Or maybe you'll find out your tires are just too big, the gear ratio is too high, or something that is making the front end tend to stay in the air. Nitrous is a gas but being blown is better!

To Denver flatheader, I tripped over a flathead the other day too, in my shop. It was a "good deal" and I'm a sucker for those. Not sure if I'll get around to running it but ya never know....

Buickfed, suggestion....get rid of the alternator and maybe a remote w/p unless you're gonna run alky. Then scrap the w/p too.

New old guy 61 y.o. Allan Faulkner, Jasper, AL. Retired USAF. Current car is a 186" FED built by Foy Gilmore in the late 90s. Have a blown SBC almost ready to drop in and a new 200" chassis under construction. Glad to see this forum getting going, just found it yesterday on the HAMB.
