So, let's make this ON topic...anybody have any pics/links to Y-block driven FEDs?



Tim McMaster posted a teaser pic of Bob Lindsays. Now I'm REALLY thinking about building a racer out of my 292...

Tim, way to go! Our original idea was to build a FED, but then we got some thoughts about the length of those frames and discovered that a FED won't fit into my garage! So we dropped down to Altered Dragster BigGrin. Also a FED needs a whole lot longer trailer to haul it and that was another reason. Maybe the next will be FED w00t. Or maybe RED cause we have MW prints already for that...

Are you guys going to build it from CroMo or mild steel?

I'm kinda new to this so I will be getting tips from other guys, but the gentleman that helped with my mini bike frame will be helping with this build as well, he has several frames under his belt. We will use the MW plans as a guideline but will modify to our needs.  The NHRA rules for C/GD reads "no chromemoly materials" so mild steel it is and since garage space is limited here also the wheelbase will probably be 120". I've been looking at all kinds of frames over on the HAMB so I have a pretty good idea what I want it to look like but we will see what the end result is.  The one thing that is for sure is that it will run a Y in it.  I would like to use the 341ci Y that I have already but the local track that is gearing up for cars like this has put a limit of 325ci, N/A with three speed manual or two speed auto all manual shift.

Tim, forget thoughts about the manual. There really is no much room to fit three pedals. Sure, it's doable, but... C4 or PG with adapters Wink. 120" wheelbase sounds like very short. Ok, we have the rearedn behind the driver and our wheelbase is common 125" Funny car / Altered wheelbase.

Don't exactly know your size but we had to add 2" to the width of the shoulder hoop to give us some room. And 4" to the head gage height. MW prints are for pygmys...BigGrin

I would like to use the 341ci Y that I have already but the local track that is gearing up for cars like this has put a limit of 325ci, N/A with three speed manual or two speed auto all manual shift.





So how about 341, blown. Or is it they're only allowing N/A motors?

They are just getting started, but for now it is all N/A.  I will sertainly keep the 341 as is and just build a new short block with 316ci (3.935" x 3.250) I have found a nice combo of off the shelf parts that I can do this with.

Seppo,  the manual tranny came about because the Flathead guys are running stock trans and just using the top two gears. (one shift)  who nows what the finnished car will be like, I'm still reserching.  I did get this photo from the site you posted.

Here's a video of one of the "Flatty" cars from the last meet.
