1000 HP Blown SBC First Fire In Front Engine Dragster

[@williesweetjr8713]

It was the 427 cross ram that introduced me to your channel. It's good to see folks that trade, build, scrape and scrap there way to the car they want. Nothing against the folk that got cubic dollars but nothing like building it yourself! Good stuff! Best of everything on your journey.

[@brettdamarin6117]

Thanks for watching closely and noticing how we fund our racing. I never came from money motivation is all I have had . Even our hand tools are 2nd hand . Bought from auctions, found in old cars I bought to flip . We are going to keep funding more interesting builds the same exact way .

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Thank you we definitely have to scrape to come up with the stuff we do but it's all worth it for those few second of glory down the strip!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

Good to see young guys messing with old school stuff. After 40+ years of blown fuel Hemi's I'm changing to turbo fuel EFI crank trigger.

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Thank you! We like to keep it old school

[@tedh.8356]

Nicely constructed race car.

[@olegearhead2483]

Cool old school dragster. Good luck with it.

[@MichiganOutdoorsUnlimited]

Love that you did this in a neighborhood. Must have some cool af neighbors

[@BB-rn6so]

Yes young man they do drink sum fuel. The bigger you go the more they drink. You have taken me back 30 years. The first blown injected alcohol was a 355. It ran 430 eighth mile in a short red. You could bracket race it. Our local track had started an Outlaw run what you bring class. That kicked off a horse power WAR. Guys were going nuts spending money, way more than the purse was. Bragging rights I guess. Had a new red built and put together a 421 like yours it had an 871 on it. Second pass everything new. Blew everything from the cam down out the bottom. Busted that new little m block, blew the trans apart, broke that new pro gear. What a mess. Just like you we were in the learning stage. Too lean we didn't know that at the time but we learned. The next red was a used new to us top alcohol dragster. Built a hemi for that one. 1471 high helix oh boy would she go. Held the track record with that one for a couple of seasons. On a real good night she would run 3.70's with straight alcohol. Started mixing a little nitro from time to time. That makes a whole new game. I'm sure you know that. Mixed a little nitro in that blown 355 a few times back in the day. You can Experiment with that some day. Well enough of reliving the past. On with the future. Awesome to see your love for the sport. Thank you for sharing your adventures

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Thank you for the story! We would eventually like to mess with some nitro but thats a little ways off for now. We are gonna find out what this car likes and how it runs and go from there. We brought it up on the transbrake yesterday in the drive and it loved every second!

[@BB-rn6so]

@@moonshineperformance9135 I'd love to be there to hear it.

I loved front engine dragsters, spoked wheels and the frame flex.

Very nice let’s keep the content rocking and rolling buddy

Thank you sir!

Nice job guys. That thing sounds awesome!

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Thank you! You need to get that camaro drinking alky!

[@StruggleandStrive]

@@moonshineperformance9135 I'm trying. Thought I had a carb but that fell through. Looking at a couple on marketplace right now

[@ratcamaro]

You need to keep priming with the bottle until the motor stays lit. There's a taper on the butterflies and they only install one way.

[@moonshineperformance9135]

8:41 minutes into the video I am talking about the taper and the way to properly install them. We also are able to consistently get it started now this was all new to us at the time

[@ratcamaro]

@@moonshineperformance9135 It's also better to use just plain pump gasoline in the primer bottle. It lights off easier than alcohol. Good luck!

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

as Im yelling at my laptop to keep squirting gasoline into it until she lights. He was using Alcohol not gas.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Would love to take it for a spin.. I drove a Jr Fueler back in the day but lately been sticking to a blown 57 gasser.

[@adamspencer3620]

That sound is fucking AWESOME

[@lonnyself3920]

very cool

[@collinbonebrake1119]

I'll never go back go a carb after switching to mechanical fuel injection.

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Agreed!

[@shotsrodder]

Sounds angry 😤

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

sounds like...victory!

[@grampageorge3407]

Damn,that sh.t sounds good!

[@manxT]

ALWAYS have a butt in the seat when the engine is running. I know a racer who reached into his rear engine car, flipped the switch and got run over by the back tire when the thing lit up instantly. And as he flopped around the floor in pain with broken bones, watched his new dragster take off out the garage, across the street and into the neighbour's house.

[@onemoremisfit]

I thought it was smart when they had it on a block with the rear wheels off. I would not trust that thing running unattended either, no way.

[@stevehammel2939]

It all boils down to money, that is how much do you want to allocate to a project of this magnitude. Hopefully the engine will live long enough to get it properly tuned and have enough fuel on to top end, so the engine doesn't lean out and grenade. Looks great!

[@ricknova1973]

To funny when the dude said wow that's loud lol well yeah beautiful car guys

[@moonshineperformance9135]

Thank you!

When you see any Man child yanking on the throttles like that you know they are children just looking to make noise ..

[@paulbaluch439]

If you guys are looking for a little fill blower manifold with burst panel already installed get a hold of me I got a brand new setup for your big block nice front engine dragster

[@professorginz2379]

To start this you use the gas bottle and spray fuel in to get it running. Once it's running then you open the fuel sahutoff and let it start running on its own. You can see the exhaust get sniokey and black and then it's time to stop feeding it gas. Just usae ordinary pump gas to get it running. BTW- this advice is from an ex Top Fuel racer.

[@professorginz2379]

Oh yeah, you will need a belt guard to pass tech.

did you guys build the chassis? if so what kind of pipe/tubing did you use?

Fatten up the pump loop if it has one, send less back to tank

No straps on the blower

[@moonshineperformance9135]

We’ve got blower restraints now. This video was recorded before the car had ever been run.

[@denniscarleton1925]

Keep the rubber side down and I think you do well in your new dragster good luck in your car
