    Along with what Tech said, I ran one about 10 years back in Quick 8 and occasionally brackets..... Plan on adding a radiator, battery and mount, tubes and a catch can for the valve covers, probably put together a quick cool and start cart..... Not exactly the "easy deal" it seems like at first look.... When you get to the quarter and semi final rounds, sometimes it's down to about 10 to 20 minutes between passes, also have to have at least one guy with you to do some wrenching, probably a 4 wheeler to tow it to and thru staging.....

    PS--Forget to mention the tailshaft, coupler, and tailshaft housing for the rear end....No room for a driveshaft.
