So in the past week,we’ve got the steering column out,master cylinder off,pedal assembly completely disassembled and removed from the car,old bushings knocked out,everything stripped off the motor to allow removal like wiring,grounds,fuel lines,carbs pulled and boxed up,rad saddle cut for access,along with 5 dozen other little things I’m forgetting about right now...
Tonight we got it ready to yank the motor/trans,but I didn’t want to dive into that at 9:30pm when the UPS guy hasn’t showed up with the clutch alignment tool yet,and the repair parts for the pedal assembly don’t arrive til tomorrow.
Called it a night,and going to watch some Meltdown videos on YouTube before I head for bed.
Hope you guys had a good day,and hope things are going well on all your projects.

I’m running G-Force belts in my car,and they’re really high quality.
I think anything in the Summit or Jegs catalog that is a legit race car belt,and not a street-rod type belt will serve you well.
Ask Racer-X how important belts are....He’s had multiple encounters with immovable objects,and he’s still alive and kicking,and singing the praises of those Hammy motors that keep trying their darndest to send him for a dirt nap.

Fired up the Heapster from its winter slumber today. Ran like shit, barely limped into the service bay. I removed the dist.cap to find a even coat of rust on everything. Pulled distributor, cleaned and greased everything, reset timing and now she is ready for a good tune up and oil change. Will be race ready shortly. Ready to run in the "hot rod " class @ The greatest show on earth......Meltdown Drags 2018.

 

No cage. Can he run Sfi lap belt?..... and it won’t run that good. I know the schmuk crew that built the motor , just sayin. We shoulda put headlights on it. Could pull the 4 wheeler back to the pit when it takes a shit

 

Right on Scott. Nothing going on with riff raff. Hot dogs merc suckin all the oxygen. All to be the coolest portapotty shuttle in the pits.

 

Old fogies!!!!!! Why I outta!!!! Get off my Lawn!!!

It did a little better than 425@4,500 just though i'd use a realistic number for you Ford and Mopar guys to shoot for. Pull was on 110 octane gas.

 

Even a mediocre 347 should sling that Comet along pretty good.If that thing isn’t deep in the 12’s he better take up a new hobby....Maybe start helpin’ out with the Church bake sale or something...?

Quicker than 12.0 ET in 1/4 mile requires a 5 point belts and I think 11.49 and quicker a cage is required.
A cage will really help improve 60 ft.

 

No it was at the NHRA race at Zmax drag strip.

 

Scott make sure you watch some of my videos form last year.

 

Was one of them John Force ? He used to drive a Ford but now he is faster older and wiser.

 

This was the factory stock class.

 

Here you go boys...get you in the mood photo from 2017. Half track, third gear shift, wheels up!

Not even a whimper to the whereabouts of the Austin?

 

So what year NHRA rule book is the Meltdown following? ‘66? Or have to follow up to date rules?

 

Like a fart in the wind my friend. By the way...the blower pistons are awesome. Really much too pretty to go inside an engine. Should just frame them and hang'em on a wall. Thanks

The cars have to pass today's safety for the E.T. they will run.

 

That ain't no wheelie these are wheelies lol



And those are just a couple of the many that was successfully achieved in 2017 lol

Idk Personally I think a half track wheelie(no matter how high) is harder to accomplish than one from a dig?

 

Don't go givin Randall a big head now.......He is already going to have trouble gettin in that super snake.

 

Yes Jackson but that was my third one on the same pass...lmao
