Question: Rail Dragster or 4WD Pickup

[NemesisDP]

RCSB 2wd, tubbed and 4 linked with a fat set of slicks. Removeable doghouse/front clip for easy wrenching - fiberglass if possible. Twins with the occassional spray.

Or use the ZR2 body that will never get finished and make a pro street S-10.

X2 Short bed tubed :thumb:

I was gonna say isn't there a ccsb sitting the weeds somewhere needing a heart??? hah I say keep it in a truck.:happy2:

 

[blackduramax07]

I like the thought of twins with fuel only. If it doesn't get the #s you want, then add spray. Put it in a truck. Preferably a rclb 4x4. Would it be possible to make it dual purpose? Drag and pull. That would be cool.

I say put it in a rail. Easy to work on and if you decide you don't like it, it will be easy to remove and install in a pickup.:thumb:

 

[bigbird]

I vote 4x4 on spray. If i want to watch a rail I'd rather go watch a 4 second one at an nhra event.

You said my LLY would never run again, but she's all converted over to LBZ and ready for the motor.. The good motor I got had to be machined :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The ZR2 is next.. Customers come first

When your LLY runs again, call me. Then you can talk smack.

Since customers come first, get that S400 shipped.:hug:

I would not consider a rail. Can you imagine the procedure needed to get you in and out of that thing?:spit: :loser:

 

[Brayden]

Real funny.. They make wide body rails don't they?

 

[fishsmith]

Yes they sure do. Ours is a wider body.

4wd 3.0 pulling truck unless you are willing to go tube chassis mod with it. Doubt you're there yet though.

If it has to be in a race vehicle, go truck and make it a 4500lb 4wd. Goal: 8s



Looks good though.

Put it in a rail truck. Show Banks how it's done. Then go Pull with it.

"show banks how its done"? you aren't serious... 7's is not an easy thing to do

 

[Brayden]

Especially on our budget...

 

[MadMaxx61]

SCSB 4x4 Twins or trips if you can get them to fit. One piece fiberglass front clip and and box sides. Maybe the short short box not the 6' one.

Serious, No. Easy, no. But it is possible. Everybody has to start somewhere. Bank wasn't an over night sensation either.

even Brayden will agree that 7's is not a practical number... how many shops have done it with a diesel engine? a handful? Banks has near unlimited funds, remember that

 

[Stingpuller]

Truck!!!

Boy that there motor sure does have a pretty mouth ,opp's bore on it! TRUCK!!!! lol

I agree... unfortuneately..

I would imagine that the 7 second dmax was at least a 1 million dollar venture if the R&D engines that GM donated were taken into account.

I don't think anyone has gotten a diesel rail running right yet.

It probably takes 1000hp to run 6.9 in a lightweight rail.

1000hp is not unrealistic, nor is an econorail chassis unobtainable for the common Joe.

If I understand it right, it's turbo and transmission issues at launch that is the struggle.
