Al Ackerman engine in F/D
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

Re: Al Ackerman engine in F/D
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 |

Re: Al Ackerman engine in F/D
Your right Sir,
I also saw the Neff and Mozeris F/DA that Kayla drive and it's also a very, very interesting setup. In that case, look like the complete block is there with a cover just over the passenger side deck. Could it be that, in this side bank, pistons are still there for balancing purpose ? Keep on SSDiv6, |
