'57 Ford Custom, Altered Wheelbase drag car

Recommended Posts

[My '57 Ford Custom is] not really Gasser. Once you alter the wheelbase as I did it becomes an Altered .

I keep forgetting about that ( :blink: ) . I suppose that I'm thinking in terms of gasoline-fuelled versus the experimental-come-the-norm Nito-Methane-fuelled ( or , blended ) cars . I'll have to try to dedicate that knowledge to my 1970 Mainframe ; the differences between "Gasser" and "Altered" ...

...but I'm sure that the waters become quite muddied beyond that ;) (e.g. , Fuel-Altered , et al.)

nice build! first off I saw the cross ram manifold and i thought not on a ford! then I realized it was a mopar! cool place for wedge motor!

I started to build this with a Y block and then it hit me.....this thing will never pull the wheels off the ground with that tractor engine! :rolleyes:
