I have a drag shell that I couldn't pass up. $600 and came with the shortblock I just finished building and a 4 bolt auto rear swapped into it. How good does the small radiator cool?
AND.....how screwed up is the tube frame on the front of this? I have no idea what to do with it

I sure like your build, just asking a couple questions that I may be getting into is all. I have the rest of the front end but not sure how to attach it so I am really looking at all of your pictures

Thanks!
Marty

This is my first time with a baby radiator but I do plan to run M1 that should help and it’s a filled block the cooling is only for the head.

For the tube front I had mine fabricated to fit my specific needs. My advice is will this front end fit your needs ?

I am pretty sure this got stopped after the frame tubes were welded in so I will have to create hold downs for the fenders/hood/bumper.
Thanks for the comments and any suggestions!

Thanks a lot Marty, now I HAVE to get this done on mine

If I can be of any help, I am here for that. Just ask, but it looks like Frank has this on track for sure! :thumb:

I’ll keep yall posted. Working on finishing the intercooler pipes
Exhaust
Engine diaper (engine pan)
Drag wing
Lexan install

When i get this done I’ll paint the engine bay black and hopefully I’ll have my nat fab subframe to install.

And hopefully the engine will be ready from the machine shop.
