Im thinking about building a drag car, we have a local track and Im looking for a new hobby. My SIL would do the driving.
Im funding this with the sale of my 64 F100, so 10-13k is the budget.
Ive got my eye on a 61 Comet, 170/3spd.
Which is the better engine for a drag car, the 200 or 250? Is the extra weight offset by the extra cubes? How high can I rev either engine??
I would stay with a 3 speed. log head, single 2v or tri-power, and as much cam, compression, gears as I can get away with.
This would be a winter project.
