Title: The new whip
Post by: daymiene on June 10, 2017, 04:25:21 PM

Picked me up a 79 tunnel dragster this weekend. Less motor, but should be fun when I get a chevy power plant. What are your guys' thoughts?

Well I got the 427 in. Engine is estimated 475-500 hp. I'm ditching the standard intake and am looking to switch over to a team G or edelbrock victor for a tall deck 427 so I can use a standard length distributor. Should be a fun boat for this summer. Wanted something so I can get out on the water asap and this is what I ended up with. Also got all the water lines. All stainless hard line made by my buddy. If anyone would like that hardline set up let me know I can get you set up

Here's some updates. Waiting on the dart intake manifold to get here and I'll be pretty close to done after that.

It's almost time for this mismatched puppy to get on the water. Here's a pic of today's progress.
