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

I am going with a mopar 8 3/4 rear. Does the it haft to fasten to the 3rd member?

 

Yep... We are running an 8 3/4... Used the two bolt holes in top of the 3rd member to attach the plate and ran a bar like Kerry to tie down the plate the chassis on the bottom.. I can't take pictures with the belly pan on... Hard to see the detail.

No, Couple of tabs welded to the bottom of the housing to a mount welded to the tube/tubes under the housing.

 

Do you have any pictures of that?

heres one

 

If you look at my profile, go to my albums, Chassis Research and lot at photo 36 on page two, you can see a far shot of what we have.

Works as the anti-rotation and a drive shaft hoop, around the coupler.

 

A little update on engine build: TRW pistons, and with mickey mouse heads, it gives 11.5:1

 

Good to see your still at it,, Tim Jones

 

When running TRW forged pistons make sure you keep the engine from detonating. Since the skirts on TRW pistons are not reinforced (like the really good race pistons are) the TRW's will crack, and or break the skirts if they detonate too much.

 

The Pistons are there now

 

Looking good. Hows the chassis coming?

 

Pretty good I think..
Waiting for my little weld on brackets for the front end..

Update will arrive shortly with some pics =)

Thanks

 

Good deal. Mine is still a pile of straight tubing. Waiting on the space to get started.
I did get my son cleaning on the cylinder heads. Slow but sure.

 

Hahahaha, it´s way better than play online games on internet, like all kids do these days

Hope this pile of straight tubing going for some bending soon!

I started out build my dragster chassie on the top of one of my hotrods....
Then I solved the space later on

 

The Hilborn timing cover is mounted, just need to find a fuelpump for that...


Here is the oilpickup measured in, fitted against the pan.


Some new fresh gaskets;




And the results coming here Looks good I think

 

Looks good, any new work on the chassis,, Beth and Tim Jones

 

Thanks!

The Chassie has a few new parts welded on very soon, then I get back to you with pics

 

I got the heads on last night, end also the tunnelram intake, get some pics tonight

 

Looking good just curious if you put some weld on the pickup tub thay do have a problem of falling out.

 

Heads mounted , and bottom of the intake
And here is the cal custom test mounted.
I need to mount the pushrods first

 

It was tricky to fit and, im sure it wont´ falling out . But if so, I have to dig in my wallet

 

The threads wasn´t nice.... So new threads where installed.



Then we have new painted Moroso solid wheel (Paintjobs on dragster, done by a near friend Per Mattsson)



Installed with new bolt and washers.



And how it looks now! A little update, but its alive, and coming more soon!
Have a great day!

 

Okey,... This tunnel ram goes off again!

And Another intake is replacing it....

:-D

 

What a great project!

 

Thanks man! it has been a Little slow for the moment,
but its comming! I am building rearEnd brackets and a other intake manifold is comming.

 

Looking good man. Why the change of intakes?

 

Hi! Yeah, its a little surprice haha!
Okey, the tunnel ram intake was a little to New style...
So I have got a more correct.

It matches the timing cover really Good

 

Well , a little different plan, but, Im going for hilborn injection

 

Just gonna fresh it up and buy a hilborn fuelpump, and see how it runs
