Trans support in an Outlaw blown alcohol dragster, Lock up converters

Hey guys, need some input.

I have a 288" top alcohol dragster that we will run with a roots in outlaw classes, 3.60's in the eight. The car is a solid mounted rear of coarse. Question is do I need to support the back of the trans or will this break the case? Its a Quick drive unit with a B&J 2 spd, we may run our 3 spd again later. I may also put this setup back into the funny car and am wondering if I will need a support there.

I am also looking into going to a lockup converter to use in the outlaw races which all seem to be 1/8 mile now, would there be any benefit to the lockup converter in the 1/8, 1/4, or both?

Thanks Guys,
Trevor Sherwood

 

you will need some kind of blow back tubes from the back of the trans to frame and as of the converer do yourself a favor call marty chance at there shop.Dave

 

Marty Chance

Is that Marty Chance as in relation to Niel Chance?

Maybe I can use the old clutch blowback tubes and make some new tubes to work, nothing back there to connect to on the trans though.

Thanks Dave,
Trev

 

yes Marty and Neil
