    Thanks Guys,

    I'm building a Jr Fueler (Well thats the plan). It'll be an injected small block on alcohol initially but I'd like to try running 50% nitro when I step it up.

    I figure probably 500 to 600HP initially with about 800HP when I tip the can.

    The car should be light weight with all aloy motor and a glide in a 4130 chassis.

    I'm not building it to win championships, just to have a bit of fun really. A big part of the fun is in the fabrication work.

    What motors were you running in the Funny car and TF car Jerry? When the rear failed did any bits ever escape the housing?


    Edit: Oops, just checked your gallery Jerry. Nice!

    How cool is that! You can actually see the quick change rear in this picture.



    Cheers

    Michael
