Been working on the roadster project and neglecting the dragster. Just received this pic from the Fall Out Drags. Taken by ace pro photographer Mr. Davis. Driver Dave, Crew Chief Jerry and little ol' me.

Will be starting on a real header soon. Want to get the dragster in the 10's. 10.99 is the goal.

Two 4 BBL on that intake with a 3000 rpm trans brake leave and 10.99 should be no problem, I'm seeing 10.50 or better after you have your tune up like you need it..

With a true header type exhaust & a bit more cam 10.25 might be in your future. Do they make taller rockers for that slant motor? Rockers are an easy way to get more lift without a cam change. Sure is a fine looking & running SDRA dragster.

I took a picture of the picture in a frame with glass. Hence, the reflections.

Best time last fall was 11.12.

Default It's tough to work with tears in my eyes. RIP Torchie
In the quest to get the dragster in the 10's, a real scientific header is needed. In my opinion. Couldn't find anyone making a flange plate so homemade it is. Decided to make a plate for all 12 ports. The intake manifold will bolt over the plate, sandwiching the header plate to the head. The header itself will be 3 into one with two 18" collectors. The hole saw work is done. Now to shape the holes to match the gasket. I bought an electric die grinder. Much faster than waiting for the air compressor to catch up.
