The EVIL TWIN Engine Dragster Build

[Rocky Phillips]

This week/weekend has been good. I painted the chassis with rattle cans and @ .99 (lowes) it only cost $8 and I can touch it up.



My son jokes with me that I finally had something powder coated, the rear end housing cost $45, it looks Bitch'n and should resist the wear and tear of getting in and out.



After installing the rearend housing I had to fit the side panels.........



With that all done I put all the pieces together and added my (painted) aluminum drums.



Mounted the battery and assembled the front end and we have a roller!





Now I have to get the engines ready. When I pulled the heads off the 307 I found the EX valves had been "Kissin" the pistons, luckily no damage to the camshaft. I never thought that .480 lift would interfer but I'll be checking the 350 when I assemble it The goal is to have it together by next weekend for a local car show so I'll have more regularly! Rocky

The the business end, had to position the replacement 350 on the LH side and after seeing some marks on the ring gears that showed me it was too tight I moved them apart. New clutch is really nice, too bad it's covered up:D

Engines and Engine Plates painted and put together, Chevy orange awt to set it off nicely!

Some Photos we took for the T-Shirt art....................

had plans on attending one of the biggest car shows around today but the weather had me worried and I didn't want to take the TWIN out in the rain. After I was sure of good weather I pulled the TWIn out of the shop to take a few photos. After the photos I fired it up and had some ignition issues, cleaned up the points, added a ballast resistor, set the dwell and timing and man all I can say is its sounds SOOOOOO much better with two 350's! I cannot wait to get the clutch pedal dialed in and drop the hammer on it!!





The plugs miss by this much!



Chromed the Brake Handle!



5 Spokes are forever!





Thought I'd never have a MOON Tank, especially with the Tr-Bar cap!













I admit it aint real sexy but it is how I think I would of built it in late 59!
