Default Drag Nova build

Our class project.

Got the motor painted, engine bay painted, trans painted, motor and trans attached ready to go in and a couple engine touch up pieces. Not bad for our first day.

Guessing I am going to have to do the bodywork lol, not looking forward to it but whatever. It's in pretty good shape, lots of small dents on the quarters and that's about it. It already has a 4 link bad *** rear, tubbed out, frame worked and caged.

I want to murder it out with some flames or something on the front, make it look sinister.

Not really, we already have the motor/trans in and the front clip set on.



Anyways were placing bets on what it is going to run, our guesses range from mid 13's to mid 14's haha. I hope we get to turbo it.

Give us details on engine/tranny/rearend combo and let us guess. I have been downt he track a few thousand times and can get pretty close, plus I watch Passtime on speed channel. Of course, my wife or stepdaughter usually win on that one, haha.

Cammed 350 with headers, probably stock trans. Gutted, ford 9in 4 link. Probably going to bog down when it hooks.

Put street tires on it that motor wont even wrinkle those. Just by looking at it, it may make 350 hp at the crank. Heads look like 461's and the springs and cups look stock unless they have been changed since the picture. Guess on the intake is a painted Performer or a cast iron stocker.
