Re: Badass 4.3

Thats pretty sweet. At first I was looking at it like, wheres the intake? But I get it, pretty slick IMO. Never seen pistons like that before either.

Re: Badass 4.3

I wonder if it runs on just nitromethane or did it have a front mount blower...that pulley in the front would suggest a blower...

I think I recall that motor actually being built for a drag bike....... with it being mounted sideways.

Re: Badass 4.3

Yeah, but 3" thick.. If I remember right there's only about 2" clearance around the oil pan and frame on our stock stuff.

I drew a girdle that looks similar to that in autocad a while back. But the clearance problems, rear/front main seals, dip stick, oil pump/pickup and oil pan being all custom pretty much kept me from going anywhere with it.

The compression ratio is only 6:1 He had to have had something on there.
