I spotted this marine head on eBay this morning........
Welcome, Ken. :)
Here's the one I did for my Iron Duke 4-banger.
woodbox.....lots of similarities between your frame and the one in my CAD drawing in post #5. I was going to use T-bars at all 4 corners but your...
I got another lump of coal and a note from Santa.
The Dragmaster T-bucket frame in slayer's post #3 is covered extensively in the February, 1964 issue of Hot Rod magazine. Lots of photos on...
Welcome, amod. You might know my old racing pal, Dennis Olson. :)
The 3.875" bore 153 had a 3.25" stroke. The true Iron Duke 151 was 4.00" bore X 3.00" stroke.....same as half of the 302 V8.
Here's the one I was going to bend up before I bought the car in my avatar.
Garry....I like the reducer idea. 6:1 is just too quick.
We ran an early Ford tranny behind the Pontiac engine in our dragster briefly...'til the torque monster ate 'em up. The tranny U-joint spline was...
Do a search for "Mopar steering"....lots of info there. Here's a good one:...
I was going to mention (name drop :)) that my old friend Steve Tansy had a hand in that but I see someone beat me to it.
vintagehotrods.....It's been chopped 2" and has been narrowed 6 inches and has a Dana 44 410 gears posie. It has a '79 3/4 ton front end. Truck...
This was our 1963 car.

I posted some preliminary pics of my pal's '41 Ford COE quite some time ago. Well it's all together and running now. Mild chop, air bag...
I like that idea of moving BTT50's to Brainerd.
I ain't nobody ! :D My partner and I ran a Pontiac A/D at Minnesota Dragways in the early to mid-60's. We attended a party at Tschida's house...
I'm the grumpy old man. I'll be 69 at the next BTT50's and I don't walk as well as I used to. If I could get my credentials mailed to me, drive...
I ran the tapered axle on my 360 sprint for a couple of seasons....no issues at all. Removing the hubs can be a struggle but I had a special...
My dad made me an adjustable angle gauge from some wood. It has legs about 18" long. I use that to let me know when I'm close on the degrees of...
The bend indicated by the arrow might be a problem. Using 1 3/4" Dia. tubing, the radius appears to be much too small for any die set that...
FWIW.....I had a customer come to me complaining that his dirt track modified had a bad front end push. He had greased his front buggy spring and...
If you can find a better pic than this one, this car by Lee Osborne has sprint car torsion bars on the front. You can see the arms peeking out...
Tapered axle ? I have one if you need it..... :)
Jackie Howerton's scratch-built.
Was that front mount cut from the drawing I posted here ?
Here's my Arvin....not quite the same.
