[Joe Hamby]

The Waffle House Special It was built in Indianapolis, by Bubba. He took it to the Hamb drags with only a clutch. when I was 75 feet from it, I could smell that clutch. I think that it is a real strong jimmy with two fours. I think that the motor was first built for a tractor pull or something like that. With that pg, it should be strong.

Check out the Tulsa Drags: http://www.crablogic.com/gassers04012011.htm (http://www.crablogic.com/gassers04012011.htm) Pictures from 4-2-11. Roy Merritts car #6, Tod Martins car, the gold and green one. Bob Heinman's car the one with the yellow valve cover. Two of these cars were the first HA/GR cars to race at the HAMB drags at Mokan. Roy's car and Bob's car the third car is the Ozark Mountain Special. That was 2005.

Scottv, When will you have that sweetheart on the strip?

[Joe Hamby]

Is that a 55 chevy rear housing on the Ozark Mt. Special?


<----That's a McCloud steel flywheel and clutch

Well, '55 thru '64 were pretty-much the same. They changed the suspension in '58. I went to a lot of trouble to cut-off the coil spring brackets, so I know it is at least a '58.

2000 Freighliner FLD Daycab, so I can't just put anything in it it has to be something that will do the work.

The engine is a Cummins N-14 430

Chop the top about 6" and pull the fenders off it, add some pie crust slicks and lakes style headers and it will be fine. :p

[nexxussian]

OUCH!!.

Good luck finding a lump to repower that Freight Shake with.

I saw what was claimed to be a 12V72 Detroit on Fleabay a while back, but you likely couldn't afford to feed it. :D
