yet another TDR blown hemi

[comp1839]

thank you hot ford coupe. i'll let the fuel system rest for a while so i can decide on the rest of the plumbing . i machined an oil pump for this motor. it will be a 2 stage dry sump system like the earlier plueger units. the oil tank and the oil filter will have to wait for the car to be built for further plumbing . hope you enjoy.

back to the fuel system. made a high speed bypass with 2 check valves out of .125 brass hex. it attaches to the barrel valve in this system. the larger line contines to the distribution block, the 2 by pass lines return to the tank via a connection at the 3-way bypass.

finished plumbing the pressure lines to the dist. block from the barrel valve. next will be finishing the fuel return lines. hope someone out there is enjoying this.

You've definitly got my attention Dave! Its absolutly fascinating to see what builders like you are doing in large scale these days. Even though many of us don't have the skills and equipment to build to your level, what you're doing is inspiring us to build a little bit farther out of the box. So, please, keep it up.

This is what I was talking about many months ago when I said "I cannot wait to see what people do with our stuff."

I think a high water mark has just been set!!

That high water mark is going to be really tough to get near. It goes to show what can really be done with a TDR kit and a bit of work. I'd love to see what kind of frame that's going into.

thanks guys, for the compliments. i do appreciate them. i guess what i was trying to see was if the was any interest in more modern drag car stuff. i'd hate to be wasting time and space. any way.... on with the blown hemi. i machined a fuel return line block that mounts to the 3-way fuel shutoff. the 3 fuel return lines are plumbed into it. when ths engine finds a home, the fuel return line from the block will run to the tank. next i made one more linkage arm for the throttle blades to attach to the throttle cable. i'll be making the cable mount next.

This is very close to what I want to build myself. One question for you, where did you get the blower belt?

[comp1839]

glad to hear you'll be building one, too. i hope you'll pleasure us with some photo's of your build. the company i got the belt from is called stock drive products.

Just glanced at the site you mentioned. They have a lot of items. To possibly keep it simple, what series/type belt is it you use. After that I'm sure we will be able to figure length for our individual projects. Thanks, Ted. PS By the way, how did the NNL go?

Your Hemi is absolutely first rateMay I ask how you did the lettering on the belt?

Thank you

glad to hear you like the hemi. the belt is an "mxl" series belt. the lettering is free when you buy the belt. hehe. i think the nnl east is this weekend so, i'll let you know. hopefully i'm going on the correct weekend. boy, the wife will sure be mad if i make her drive up there and it's the wrong weekend, duoh!
