Maybe it fell off the trailer?

 

[MRHP]

Finally got some pictures to work, sorry for the delay! Even got the new motor mounted.

 

[MRHP]

From the back.

Brian, congrats........looks like you''ll be work'n overtime.......but for all the right reasons.Someone's goin racin..............

 

[MRHP]

I will be shortening the front 17 inches so the wheelbase will be 108.

 

[tripower]

Very cool Brian...

 

[blkblk63ss]

Brigg's and Stratton????

 

[Don Jacks]

What size are those rear tires,and what gear is in it now?

 

[MRHP]

33x17 tires and a 4.11 gear. The fella I bought it from liked the glide with that gear.

 

[Ishiftem]

Should be a wild ride!

 

[Don Jacks]

With that gear and tire,about 5,500 in the traps will have you at about 130.Stay tight on the convertor,run the engine on it's forte,which is brute torque. A shorter wheel base looks neater,the longer is more stable.

I hope at 108 it will handle decent. I know it will look fantastic. The rpm and speed would be right where I would want them! What stall convertor should I look for? The glide will have a 1.76 first gear.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Cool looking ride there Polio.......

Any idea what it may weigh with a full tank of gas race ready?

I noticed in the rear view picture that they threw in a car cover.......

 

[MRHP]

With a 565 bbc,glide, and fuel, it was 1800 if I recall correctly.

 

[Don Jacks]

No more than 25-2700. I don't think much of the idea of a 2 step for consistant launches with your 6-71 blower,but would rather use a co2 powered throttle stop as a launch control.
