Al Ackerman engine in F/D

Charles Stewart · 09-13-2021, 01:50 PM

Just curious and I really not sure but, it look like Mr. Ackerman had a different engine set-up at the Keystone National last week-end. Could it be an half v8 engine ?
I saw a quick view in comp qualification session, on NHRA TV but couldn't find any details or photos yet.
Thanks for your help,
Charles Stewart

Here's a very poor quality view of his recent engine.

Charlie,
I saw a video of it running down track.
Can't remember who sent it to me.
I thought the same thing.. Half of a V-8

It's a mid-deck, Small Block Chevy Pro Stock Truck class block with a Splayed Valve cylinder head. The engine is 191 CID.

Dear Sir, thanks for those details, but I'm a little bit more curious...
Do you know if Mr. Ackerman run a full v8 crank and cam or special machined 4 row only crank and cam.
Thanks for your reply,
Sincerely,
Charles Stewart
