:Well I do have a couple of sets of pulleys Brent, so if we don’t make enough torque to get the old heap moving I can turn the boost up a bit.
For reference there’s a nut case in Michigan who used to race an old 60’s Nova with more or less the same set up you see here, drag radials, Caltracs suspension and a SBC motor with a D3M with blow through carb set up.
He went 8.16 in that car at 3200lbs years ago.
This thing of mine will be much more tame as I want to drive it on the street a little bit. Hopefully I have all my sums right and the damned thing actually works- we did have a small set back today someone’s trodden on and bent the oil spray bars from out of the pan, hopefully the NASCAR shop this old engine came from have some spares laying around- or I’m screwed!
Now some more bench racing for you, figure this out 1.76 first gear in the glide, a 3.54 rear end gear with a 30" tall tire- we’ll run a Trans Brake and maybe a two step limiter, I wonder how much torque those MT Street radials will hold without spinning???
Did I mention I broke a bone in my neck and I’m REALLY NOT supposed to be doing this silly shit anymore:D
