I Like Tat Jerry  !

Thats what Drag Racing was about in the 60's and 70's,  that Had to be a thrill driving that baby.  Here's a pic of my old Ford with a 392 hemi in it, it was just a wheel spinner, couldn't hold it strait at any speed ... a front end thing.

I think that one ran in the low 10s around 140.  This one ran low 9s around 150 - 155. Same size motor.

426 convert? I guess you'd want it back. I cant imagine there were many around even back then.
Yeah took a pair to drive one of those cool old front engine dragsters.
