For the last month and a half I have been working on the newest toy for the family.This 225inch digger is going to be powerd by a alcohol burning 452 as a starting engine with a ron,s toilet system,and see how that goes before installing the 512 motor on alcy.Installing new tires front and rear,new wing,tranny,wiring,guages,interior,some body panels,paint,and a long list of other things.So if any one has parts that they think would work on this thing or needs some of the stuff I have gathered over 40 years,email me or PM me,mrmopartech

You don't see those sitting in a driveway very often.
Very nice it looks like a nice one, is it a Brad Hadman?
 
With me and my buddy Bobby Joseph from dallas georgia with his allcy expeirence,we are going for 8-900HP,which should run mid 7,s.As a friend of his has the same set up and is going 7.30@192,mrmopartech
 
This weekend,I am finishing the trans cooler bracket,shifter mount,cut cooling holes in the bell housing,mounting the MSD 7al-3,do some wiring,some maching on the the wing spars and sheet metal.I am looking for some side scoops for the radiator.The frame has two big triangle shape support bars and the rad behind me about 6-8 inches back of the roll cage,so I figure 2 good size scoops for air cooling,would be just right if there was a mopar scoop I cold install,as the car is being done in plum crazy purple,and being called (PLUM CRAZY) with a ralley wood grain dash.If any one has a idea for a side scoop ,post or send me a email with pics.So it,s back to the shop sunday morning to do some more work.At this point to get the car parts,trailer,motor,tranny,we are going to be at a 18-20 grand dollar count to make the first run,and do some testing,So you want to go racing on the cheap side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,mrmopartech

This is a very basic SBM with a single butterfly injector like your Ron's. It would weigh in the region of 1120 Lbs. Will be running at Easter and should run 5.50's on the 1/8th. Cheers
 
Getting ready to install the alcohol motor and set up the fuel system.I have been buzy setting up the new trailer for the dragster,making shelves,winch,lighting,etc.With spring cleaning going on now and trying to do motors,tranny,s and cars,there is so much spare time to work on the digger,since there is 48 hours in a day,it,s really great,and through in work and over time,recipy for burn out,mrmopartech
