wagner Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 When I first saw this car at Outlaw Armageddon I did a double take to see what it was. Even then I was wrong and thought it was an old Buick. Crank-driven blower cars like this just sound evil... https://www.dragzine.com/features/car-features/malicious-intent-richie-blubaughs-supercharged-1952-ford-mainline/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is that fake rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is that fake rust? Hard to say...probably a mix of both. The bumpers certainly look beat to crap, but there are spots, like under the decklid that look painted. It's also kind of "drippy" in some areas - like its rusted from being constantly dripped water on and not necessarily from sitting out in a field. Still a cool car.

zeitgeist57 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Dude, I've not seen a Vortech V-30 blower...crank-snout mounted...that looks awesome! Is it not intercooled because the fuel charge drops air inlet temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not intercooled because the fuel charge drops air inlet temps? Vortech is trying to get back heavier into the racing market so they're pushing new stuff out. No intercooler because it's running M1. We (Dragzine/CEO) just picked up a new "project" car that was moved from race gas to M1. Making that switch let us remove all the intercooler stuff and the weight that went along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Figure it had to be some kind of alcohol fuel since the car has no radiator. M1 would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
