Steel or titanium can?

Hi guys,

We run a Blown BBC / Crower 10.7" 3-disc / CS-1 3 speed Lenco combo in our Top Comp altered in Australia, and are currently using a 8 1/8"lakewood bellhousing, we would like to upgrade our can with something nicer, i.e. more hand room on the inspection hole etc, what cans are usually run in the Alcohol F/C's and do the pedal pivots come off the can not the chassis, if so who makes or modifys these cans to suit a funny car style chassis, has anyone run a lakewood compared to say a Browell or Trick Titanium.

Cheers
Marc

 

I cant answer all of your questions but I can tell you that if you want to save your back get a trick titanium can.

 

Hi Nick,

Do you know what is the weight saving switching from Steel can to a Titanium can?

Lakewood to Ti saves 14lb.
Browell to Ti saves 19lb.
Trick can install the top pivot boss.

 

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply, what pedal assy do i order and where from, and what do i ask Trick to weld on?

What is the most common set-up for engine limiters (Blow back braces), we have at the moment from the top chasis rail forward to the can itself utilising 3/8" clevis brackets welded onto the can.
