Projects Front engine dragster-Chassis Research 1958 -"Moon Rocket"

Tubes in the back, "seat" ;-)

 

Good to see the chassis coming together

 

A great moment for me, to finally get this Hilborn fuel pump, to fill up that hole in the timingcover ;-)

 

I have an extra extension and shaft you need!

 

I would Love that! I was just thinking of one , maybe Im allowed to buy your extra? Would be awsome

 

We will work something for trade. Let me put my hands on it and make sure its still in basement. Ill send you some pictures Friday brother

 

Realy AWSOME!
I can't wait, to your next posting ;-)

 

Found it!

 

Hey wow!! I Love that piece! Would fit nice on my Engine!
sorry for a late reply, I have just changed working place after 13 years.

Maybe you pm me about a deal?
many thanks

 

Sure will. Want to send u more pictures to make sure you can use it as well

 

YEAH! I got my spool for my old narrowed banjo!

 

and...... It didnt fit....
Bearings are too big, and the housing is too small....... Is there any bigger housing for this spool?

 

Some ink too

 

If you run roller cam get all that extension/fuel pump on-- Then check end play and set it
all those items can effect end play--
Lookin Good!

 

I love the build and just hate that rear axle.
I got a quickchange with a full set of gearing if youre interested.
Still have to be narrowed to fit.

 

Feels like Im shooting for my 9 inch axle... Anyways

Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

8 3/4 Chry over the Ford 9 , Smaller and cheaper to build and they look like the early 49 Olds

 

Ive got this piece already, And a MW coupler for it. I Think I let the old banjo rest and make this more simple, as you said long time ago ;-)

 

Hi all, time to get back to work , so this fed will be buildt and run!

I need some info on bearing sizes on my spool for the early ford axle, is there any bells with bigger bearings?

And its time for fit tubings on chassis

 

Looking good, nice build and keep it coming

 

THIS IS FOR THE CHAMP STYLE REAR END

 

In the 60's Halibrand made steel spools for the V-8 quickchange. One of these would work in your housing depending on what year the housing was made. You may be able to find one on ebay or? It's possible Winters makes spools also.

 

I will contact winters and see if they can help me out, maybe I need different housing and bells ( a new axle...)
Or maybe they have the bearing "seats" for the bells, so I can machine my bells and fit slightly bigger seats for my bearings.

 

Thanks man!

 

I know too little on this, what is champ style?

 

The Champ is the larger size of the Halibrand quick change center sections. That is why the spool you have won't work. Assuming the banjo housing you have is 1940-1948, what you need is a spool for a V-8
Halibrand quick change. Then the center of the ring gear must be machined (center bored out) so that it can bolt to the spool. Winters makes a V-8 quick change also, so if they make a spool for it, that should work too.

 

Nice Plastic piece to build brackets with, perfect for the FED build.

 

Realy cool, this package weights about 10 kilos
Hehehe nice and easy

 

Now the rail is commin somewhere , here is enginemount and fuel tank fitted frot axle trying to find good lookin rollcage angle..after half an hour I liked this so we shot for this a friend helping me out to weld correctly Im not gonna lie, this was the BEST feelin EVER ! To finaly try it out - cant wait for the rest! almost every tube mounted now I can mount all parts I have and build steeringbox holdbracket
