Yea, that was the idea.
Since then, I radically modified another 66 A-100, but it's not that fast. It is more geared to 'Quick'. 413 Chrysler, Hemi clutchpack 727, GM 12 bolt rear w/3:56 gears, M-50, 15 rear tires, big tube Hookers, Crane cam, windage tray, Holly 'tricky kit' in the carb, advance curve kit in dist, TRW Clevite bearings, Chrome molly rings, high volume oil pump that produces 90 psi, ( due to the new and improved pressure spring) I have to check the oil filter to make sure it doesn't push the tin cover off and let the oil escape.

It isn't all that fast, but will carry the front wheels about 50 ft from a 20 MPH roll.

It will be reborn as a truck-pull specimin, since it hooks too hard for the blacktop and has a tendency to spray parts all over the blacktop.

Making about 475 ponys on pump gas and trying to put them ALL on the ground. Might have to 'boost' it to play in the dirt.
Jerry,
wasn't the "Little Red Wagon" wheel standing dragster an A-100?
