Here are some photos of the custom fabbed aluminum fuel tank, the top will be block off and it will be sumped in the rear for an external fuel pump and return line. I also added a photo of the upper torque box reinforcements.

starting to look real good man, keep up the good work.
Working on getting all the brake lines ran and plumbing in the new Strange master cylinder w/ the line lock and the proportioning valve. This is all from scratch, there are no brake lines on this car at all.
Just figured out the engine combination and waiting for hard numbers on the parts pricing to decide who to go with on them. There are so many different manufacturers out there it makes it difficult.
What did you decide for on the drivetrain?
I am going to still go w/ the big cubic inch small block set up for NOS and run the PG, lots of compression. I still want to try to run in the 8.5 class, it's 8th mile so I want to make as much power as soon possible. I know the challenge is going to get it to the pavement and go straight. I am hoping w/ the glide I can get out of the hole a little more gentle than the 3 speed guys, I guess time will tell.
Bought my rods this week and ordered my 4340 steel crank as well and will be ordering my custom pistons next week. Long block should be ready in the next month or so, I am afraid that the car may not be running this year as I would like. A lot of chassis and body work to be done to it to be ready.
What are the rims that you have on the car?
Weld Racing forged Alumastars
What brand of rods and crank ?? Just curious is all...Quote:

A buddy of mine just did a 427 windsor with air flow research 225 heads that is carbed and set up for nitrous and the motor dyno'ed at 690 hp @6700rpm. and he still has the nitrous to throw on it. Might want to check out bullet racing cams when you are ready for your cam. have you decided on which intake and carb yet?
Eagle and Scat.Quote:

Nice... Looking forward to seeing the car go down the track.. hell, it looks fast sitting still
Still working on them.Quote:
