Hey wags,I though I read somewhere that they used a v drive from a boat in some of the wheel standers.

Lady you sure know how to drive very impressed....................rayer:What a hassle to wheelstand. My engine is in the stock location. No NOS and an 11to 1 smallblock and a 904 trans. The car weighs 3130 and is nose heavy by 100 lbs. I have wheelie bars now but last year I had to run 50 lbs of weight in the nose of the car just so it would come down from the wheelie. Usually it would stay up draging the rear valance 150 to 300 feet or more. My car is very consistant at the bracket races. Post some wheelstand pic and video when you get them!

I'm curious whats your plan for steering while your wheels up, hand throttle and duel brake petals or foot throttle and twin stick brakes? I'm sure ether would work but to be honest I'd lean more to twin stick brakes. David
Wheelstanders do it for the whole quarter mile and usually in 12 seconds or less.
yeah thats what they are designed to do.

Since you're using a wagon you could possibly have the rear end mounted normally and mount the engine facing backwards set further to the rear. That would put more weight behind the axel and make it easier to pull the wheels.
When you get ready for a test run, don't hammer it in 1st gear. If you're making the power these things need, it'll pop that thing up really quick and slam your bumper into the ground. Might also lift the rear wheels off the ground and you'll come slamming back down. 2nd gear gives you a nice smooth lift off.
