The Purple one is a Supergas car 545 ci, PG, on alky, the blue one is headed for Outlaw-Top Sportsman (4.70) index deal
will the 2x3 frame rails be ok for 4.70's? reason i ask is i have 2x3 and i'm thinking of upgrade on the cage or start over with all round tube.what front suspension on the blue car?

Cool,
the 2x3 is good to go for cert 7.50 & 4.50/ & mine has has cage in it to meet certain SFI stuff.... 7.49 & faster requires round tube / strut "chassis" or so I've been told...

thats good to know,i think i may just have an idea Idea

thanks!

They look like some a local around here used to make, Fred Brewer I think was his name.

Hi Randy, this is Tim, Terry's brother, the injection system, sheetmetal manifold, and first external oil pump I had were made by a friend of mine in Duncan Ok. his name is Marty Covalt, and his work is top notch.

Thanks,

No it was never put on a dyno, it has run 8.70 at the Motorplex in Dallas (1/4mile) and 5.52 in the 1/8. it weighs 2640 with me in it, it is a 2 bolt block, 4 1/2 stroke crank, .030 overbore, miller rods and pistons, powerglide with 4.46 gears shifted at 6600.

Thanks,
