Drag racing question.

Funny you say that as I have seriously thought about the 460. I started building this thing years ago in my early 20's. Had a 347 mated to a PG to a 9" rear with a 4 link I built from scratch. Never managed to finish it as life just caught up with me but ive never been able to bring myself to sell it. So right now it sets in storage.

One of the last things I did was pull the engine and sell it as I decided to build a 408 out of a 351w. So between here and there being it has no engine I have thought about just going all nuts with a 460.

That's pretty much how my truck sets. Single cab long bed with big ole back tires. And I haven't worked on it in years lol.

Part of my issue is I (well besides needing 35k to throw it together) is I keep adding and adding and adding to the point I never finish it. Such as I would like to try my hand at building the chassis from scratch. Basically just hang the body from the cage / chassis I build. What I should have done is what I said when I started it to just build a hot street cruiser and go from there. But nooooooo I cant do that I have to rip it apart and try building a redneck promod LOL

Time and motivation is my biggest problem. My wife had a stroke Memorial Day 2017 and I haven't had time for anything since then.

What is a crash box? Is that I call a "pro shifted trans?

And you call that slow...damn man

I went back and watched the run again of the cage car, it looked like an "H" pattern box he was rowing. In my terminology a crash box is an all steel gear box with dog shifting drums no synchronizers. It's almost impossible to miss a shift, and the RPM drop is negligible. Once I forgot to use the clutch except in starting off in a 1/4 mile and I didn't miss any upshifts. You never lift when shifting a crash box. It didn't look like a Lenco to me. Just my opinion, I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

I believe he is still using a t56, albeit is worked over a bit, billet this and that and face plated gears, and up until recently he was still using factory rear ends in it.
