Chain Driven

Tooling around the hard drive this morning and found this fantastic drag roadster featuring a 4-71 blown 283. It’s all pretty standard affair for a early-to-mid-1960’s drag car, but the chain drive set up is what really caught my attention. From what I can tell, it’s a Howard chain drive set up.

I know… I know… chain drive systems are a total pain in the ass that require maintenance after just about every run, but there is no denying that little else looks the part as well as a cast and finned cover bluntly calling the shots up front.

This little roadster proves it. Check it out:
