Dang, I think you are really serious, my friend. Enjoy the building. I am about to get a different kind of boost maker delivered in early January... Lou |

Wayne, Turn off Youtube, go out and put your race-car together. This is the race-car building season. Come spring, you're going to be expected to race the car. No more Youtube until it's done Mister. Now get to work!   On this subject: I should take delivery of the aluminum plate I ordered next week. Once we have everything worked out, I'll work on a bit of AutoCAD for the timing cover. I ended up putting the pristine John Deere crank back into storage, and pulled a different crank that wasn't a perfect piece for the weight loss build. No sense screwing up something that could be used in a build not requiring the one off machining needed for this experiment. Spent today helping a buddy rebuild a phone booth. Still got a long way to go. I can't remember the last time I saw a full size phone booth with doors and full glass. An interesting day! The phone booth will be part of his private car shop when completed. I donated an old dented Keg to the progress. Three guesses what that's going to be for! We'll be installing a car lift in one of the bays next weekend. We need to get a 4x4 lift project, and a 4.6L Ram pickup core out the door before we start in on that project. CJ |

Looking Good Ceej, Is should be a blast when you get that project fired up and on the track. Greg |

Have you made any more progress on the dragster?

CJ, I made a 3D model of a 2pc. timing cover about 5 years ago and did a few prototype casting patterns for them I posted on here. If you need any help with dimensions and bolt locations let me know. |

Looks like an aluminum slant front section. Sorry if I missed something. |

Hey guys. Been really busy with work. Basically, progress on the digger is on hold. This is an iron block slant. Not sure how you'd seal up the head on an aluminum slant under boost. The timing cover set is custom cnc'd piece. Gary machined it from a thick piece of aluminum I purchased. It's a two piece with the pumps drive off the cam. No sure when I'll get back to it. As busy as I've been, it may have to wait until I retire in four years. CJ |

I found this thread somewhat late, i.e. today.... What a build this is!!!  It´s really an interesting thread for me as a friend of mine is right now re-creating a FED from the 60s/70s, and he is building a blown (probably a 4-71) Slant Six engine for it. A question: Are by any chance the Photobucket photos that are linked in the very first post still are available somewhere? The link to Photobucket is currently broken. It would be abosolutely fantastic to view e.g. head work, the intake/blower plate and timing cover in more detail. |

I'll look around this weekend to see if I have any backups of those photos. I'm pretty sure they went away when photo-bucket did their thing. They needed a much more reasonable price for the little guy. Busier than a one legged man at work. Maybe I'll get back to it once I retire. CJ |
