Shop drag truck project

[Evan@InglewoodTrans]

We finally got started reassembling the shop drag truck project Darth Vader this weekend. We 4 linked the rear for no other reason other then weight savings and why not. There is still a ton to do but at least the rear is back where it's supposed to be. The goal is to have it weigh in around 5800 pounds with driver. It should have plenty of fuel and air. I'm most excited because It will be a great way for us to test transmission ideas.

Should be a quick cc at that weight:thumb: Built engine going in?

 

[Evan@InglewoodTrans]

Yes built motor. The goal is 9.80 once the bugs are worked out.

Is the wheel base shortened or will it still use a short bed?

The wheelbase is factory.

I can't wait to see this done. In a few years my 05 lly will be paid off and I'll be out of school so at that point I'd like to buy a tow pig and then convert my ccsb to a linked super short bed. Wheelbase around 133(scsb length). But mine is. 2wd

My question is will this truck be competing in NHRDA events? Would it be classified as Pro Street?

I doubt it will make any NHRDA events but if we do nothing we are doing to it should exclude it from being able to race in pro street.

There is ton of work to do. If it's running by the end of January I'll be happy. I'll get some more pics up when we set motor in and get the turbos on.

Sounds like you have a good idea what your looking to do it should be a fun project.

How much weight did you shed off the bed gutting it like that

I'm not sure I didn't weigh it but all that's left now are bedsides which don't weigh much. Even with the framework to attach the bedsides it's won't amount to much. The rest of the chromoly tubing showed up today so I'll be able to build the rest of the frame and roll cage.

I'd say a little more then that. Just the bed floor with the braces weighed a bit.
