Those cars don't have water in the engines. The blocks are solid and the top of the motor is cooled by a water to air intercooler and or the engines fuel which is usually methanol. And in the street car classes that do have radiators and water in the motor they usually don't have traditional water pumps that bolt to the engine. They're external And electric and look like a little turbo but it pumps water with just hoses screwed into the block with a.n fittings. And if you did want to run a traditional water pump on a engine plate car then the plate would have that area of the plate cut and machined out so the water pump would still bolt to the front of the block with regular gaskets.

We'll do our best to help however we can! Thanks!

It'll be easiest to just base your frame off of a car chassis. Then you can build around the engine and transmission from there. It'll be hard to determine engine mount positions just from a picture, also varies from which engine and trans you decide to use.

Yes it is Charles. We have built many HG '63's over the years and can provide a chassis kit, welded chassis or something finished a little further. You can find some more information on chassis kits and welded chassis here. timmcamis.com/shop/chassis/chassis-kits.html

Complete rollers generally range anywhere from $95,000 - $200,000. However, anyone with moderate fabrication skills can purchase our chassis kits ($2,395.00) along with a body and components which is all the same stuff we use in-house. This allows customers to complete a car themselves without any of the labor costs. Here is a great article on going the DIY route and shows what you can accomplish with the kits - www.dragzine.com/tech-stories/chassis-safety/world-class-on-a-budget-tmrcs-doorslammer-chassis-kits/

I was about to say the same until he said bbc and power glide combo

door slammer is a long standing(like before Shawn was even born) nickname for the pro stock and pro modified cars to differentiate them from the floppers(the funny cars) and rails(the dragsters). used to be that funny cars still had doors, so when they went flopper, the pro stock and pro mod were/are the last "door slammers".

His car is done. Built by another shop in OK. Shawn has the car in his possession but it's not ready yet.

+blazer6248 Shawn was just visiting Tim's shop, I'm sure. You can visit somewhere without buying things. How else would you know whether you wanted a place to do work for you?

Shawn stopped by the shop to pick up some parts to use on the new Murder Nova. The car was built by Don Dial and uses a wide range of our kits and components.
