[Dragsinger]

#227 shows what can be considered "big lift"

#229 shows the 60 MM cam journal. Monte says it looks like the engine has two crankshafts

#230 shows the cam at 113* per the cam card

#231 cam at 113* and intake valve a full "big lift"

A good work day - planning day for the Roadster

[Dragsinger]

At Woodfin Automotive we work on EFI equipped cars and truck most every day. Yet, we do not race those cars ! Nor do we engineer the systems, we simply repair them.

Our roadster is not only a new exercise in drag racing with EFI it also requires some home spun engineering.

In keeping with the basic theme of hot rodding if you are not modifying or customizing every part on the package you are being remiss.

The engine is a Brodix aluminum block with raised cam and raised deck. EVERYTHING that bolts on the block requires some tweaking.

Here I am spotting the magnet bolt that will screw into the cam gear. The magnet is set at 195 degrees before TDC #1 firing. It identifies the #1 cylinder position for the ECM and begins the injector firing sequence.

Q - What is required if the fenders need to be wider? If you want the tire tread under the fender?

A - Modification! Simply cut off them off, splice the width, reinstall. No hill for a hot rodder More specifically, our team member body man extraordinaire,Joel.
