I see Ron's Toilets and a Dry Sump Tank... Where's the heart emoji when you need it?

 

[Clelan]

Sounds crisp! I hope that shoulder is getting better!

Cley

 

[Newbomb Turk]

Two toilets are better than one!

I would really like to see someone produce a front distributor drive setup like what's on that A8 for a regular LA block to use with an external water pump.

Can’t you just run a crank driven pick up and a set of coil packs and module?

That with a programmable ECU (like an MSD grid system) would probably be a viable option.

 

[Kendog 170]

Sounds sweet!

Is the secondary tank next to the radiator the coolant recovery tank or is it part of the fuel or oil system?

 

[Icetech]

I haven't seen toilets in soo long that thing sounds great

Fuel system. I use race gas to warm up engine.

They do make great drag cars. They were cheap a few years ago

Sounds crispy. What’s the expectation? 1/8 or 1/4?

Agreed. A friend of mine has one with a 408, 18 spline trans, and Dana 60 that he tried to sell a few years ago. He couldn’t even get $10K for it! He said “Hell with it, I’ll let it rot in the garage for that price”.

1/4
This engine ran 8.40’s in a Daytona that is 300 lbs lighter than my car.

I would be happy with 9.10’s
