I bought one of those also. The cranks were built up with spray metal instead of welding. It lasted 1 run with 100 % nitro. Turned out they didn't use the proper spray wire on the first pass.

I nevver had the opportunity to run this at the drags, The owner slod the engine for far less than he had invested, and we stuck a stock engine back into the car (56 HT). Don't know what happened to it. Thanks for the info Pete.
