Don't need it (yet) 'Don't run 11's. (I'm NA) I'll know one way or another when the engine's done. With a blown 440 in that thing... he should be runnin' some serious numbers. Nobody I know of has ever seen this thing actually run but you. Mechanically... 4 4bbls, and twin roots type huffers is a bit much. (fuel and boost). He (Sheldon) has done some other 'gee-whiz' stuff... including a jet turbine Dak that was on e-Bay recently. One of the guys at Rockingham noticed his intake manifold was cracked. No doubt he whomped it to do that if those huffers are gennie. I suspect one may be... and one possibly two of the 4 bbls are functional. My contention is 'form follows function'. This is a show car... not a racer. It's poses as a racer... as many do. (I'm not a real race car... I just play one on parking lots.) You've seen many of those I'm sure.

'Not a 360 anymore... he's got a 440 in it according to my spies at Rockingham.

Yep... that's a 360. Dick Landy was marketing a single B&M blower set-up for the old motor (prob'ly still is). That would work... providing he could keep the head gaskets intact. Dunno why he changed it. He's got the Cervini sniper kit on the lower half... odd that he retained the stock mirrors at that point. All things equal... that configuration should be in the 9's.

Anything is possible. I had to laugh when I saw it was just a 360. The 440 would have required a bunch of cutting in the engine bay. This truck was still stock at the fenderwells and firewall. Now maybe it's 440 at Carlisle, but I still don't see the distributor.

It must be back there someplace 'cause you can see the plug wires grouped behind the blower. Well... if it was built for an attenton getter... it's been a success. Lotta that 'theme' stuff back in the mid-late '60's was like that. Some of 'em didn't even have any internals. That's been changed.

Yeah. It definitely got some attention. Especially when it was popping coming through the pits. The "bling" factor is high for sure.

meh.

It looked better and probably ran better with a single blower. Those side-pipes still functional? I'd like to see the exhaust gas velocity on that thing.
