This one came from applied racing or ART. It is there middle one. It is actually pretty simple. You mount the tabs that hold the bearing blocks then slide the round stock in and weld your to it. It should be pretty light and pretty strong. I looked at the S&W piece also but their was more to the install and it was more expensive.

I got a box in today from S&W also. Pics to come a little later.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Actually I got two boxes from S&W but the main one I wanted was back ordered. Grrrrrr. When I ordered it they didn't say it was back ordered.

How far Back has the motor been set?

The firewall is barely notched to clear mid plate.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

WOW!

Just read the entire thread.

And it's great to read over what has happend to your truck over the years. Hoping you get it back running soon and enjoy it as well.

Any closer on getting it running?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Dang brother that was allot of reading. Its at the chassis shop then I plan to take it to the paint shop. It will probably be a spring debut. I'm trying to get my son's (Djjr) truck running by the end of next month.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I dropped by the chassis shop and took a few pictures.

Fuel Cell Straps fit like crap. I will have to rebend them or remake them.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Anti Roll Bar. I am not real sure about the bars being at an angle but it wouldn't be real hard to change if it causes a problem. The Chassis guy says the are fine.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looking good Kevin!
Keep those updates coming.
Is there plans for the motor to hit the dyno before it goes in?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

ET without Nos is
6.44 1/8 @ 104.13
10.39 1/4 @ 125.83

Nos Times
5.785 1/8 @ 118.65 with a 1.336 60ft
9.168 1/4 @ 142.58 with a 250 shot dead out of the hole!

I was just looking at your times.....Thats moving....what tires are you running for that and what kinda of HP are you making before Nos ?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I'll dyno it on the track. The motor should make around 900hp and I'm gonna spray the heck out of it.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Those time were run with a 33 10.5w tire but it was on way too narrow of a wheel. The old motor should have made 700 or so HP. Click the link in my sig to see my fastest pass with the old combo.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wheres the pro mod wing and and dual shoot launcher and the 80inch wheelie bars at?

haha im kidding but the work is looking great. im sure itll haul some serious ass when its done. (not that it didnt already) but im sure you get my point haha

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

You can't sneak up on anyone with all that stuff. That's one reason the chute mount is removable. I may slip it of and put a tag on it and drive it on the street sometimes. It didn't need wheelie bars at all with the old motor so we will have to see if that remains the same. I hate the cars and trucks that look like they should run in the 4's and only run in the sixes in the eighth mile.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

yea i agree, its better to look slower and be faster then to look faster and be slower.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looking good Kevin!

How wide of a wheel were you runnin with the 10.5W's?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I was running them on the 10 inch wheels that were on the truck when I got it and now I went up to a 16 inch diameter and to a 14 inch width.
