I am thinking about converting an old reverse rotation marine Interceptor engine to CCR and powering a front engine dragster with it. Has anybody on here ever heard of using the Borg Warner marine Velvet drive transmission for automotive use??? I read somewhere that that was basically like the old nostalgia in and out boxes from the 50s and 60s. I know I would have to couple it with a clutch and am also open to ideas for a cost efficient clutch system. Not too much horsepower, naturally aspirated and a budget build. Just wanna drive my own hand fabbed F.E.D. at the local 1/8 mile track.
