Except this is a naturally aspirated 499 cube engine. pretty uncommon if you ask me.

And usually in the 560~600+ CID range. My dragster is down but will be back up soon with 427 SBF power. If it makes what I think - with minimal effort - it should be 150~160 in a full quarter. People walking through the lanes are guaranteed to stop and look, very few Fords out there. It's good to be different. 8)

Post by: Rory428 on April 27, 2023, 08:47:33 PM: Yeah, theres a guy up here that runs a rear engine dragster with a 351W in the 8.90 Super Comp class, as well as a FOX Mustang with a 351W in 10.90 Super Street. That 351W looks tiny compared to all the BB Chevys in all the other dragsters.
