20 minute mark on the Shelby Super Snake SOHC powered nitro dragster. One hell of a great museum regardless of the make!

Not an older vid. Passes 17 cars in 2 laps. What fun!

14:15 for the Galaxie, 25:05 for a Mustang, 30:50 for a Mustang GT.

At the beginning, old open wheel, no roll bar race cars. Geez, the drivers must have brass balls to drive these things!

Interesting altered wheelbase story and how the Ford SOHC was still more powerful than the best 426 Hemi. The distributor on the SOHC engine thumnail is rare indeed. Is it a Spaulding Flamethrower?

Very odd to wake up to 2.5+" this a.m. and it's not even Halloween yet.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Ford 5.0/302W oil use.
« on: September 25, 2019, 02:35:17 PM »
Odd that my '88 5.0 Stang had the check oil light come on. Seems that I was a quart down after only about 1,000 miles. Gennie, never apart engine with 72,000 easy miles. No leaks except minor seal seepage and I don't see any tailpipe smoke. Did this the last time too about the same 1,000 miles interval. No lack of power, plugs look great.

I wonder if others have this experience? Maybe hardened valve seals? Never used to use this much oil until the last 2 years.
