Title: Someone needs to fess-up
Post by: mike7570 on November 11, 2019, 04:03:49 PM

Who has the injected FE dragster?
I found out it was at Famoso last weekend

I checked my garage.  For sure not me.  That's the kind of thing of which dreams are made.

Talked to those guys a couple years ago Mike.
The dad is the FE guy and is passing it on to the son. They were close to staging so I didn’t wanna bug ‘em.
Beautiful little car.

I had an Algon setup for the wagon, but turned into a money pit so I sold it back off.  I really wanted those 8 pipes out of the hood!!!!

A friend of mine took the picture. He didn't see it run but it was apparently running in the 7.60 index class.

   Is that a blower drive pulley of the front of the crank?


Mike.

It sure looks like it yet....that SS plate right in front of it and how far, far away it is from the timing chain cover makes me think it's not. It could be I guess part of a remote starter system, kinda' like the aircraft engine starters used on blown nitro/alky engines that's removed once the engine kicks over. Good question that we don't have a good answer for.......

Here’s a couple shots. I’ve got a vid that shows their starting procedure. I’ll figure out how to post it.
The starter is the orange piece just to the left out of these shots. It stays on. Oh it’s in the center pic.

Likely had a blower and maybe they keep the lower pulley for that option?

Figured it out. Just a clean little car.
Must admit I would love to build one.
