Hello everyone, out of school and into industry once again. However, today was one of those days that had some fun aspects to it. The owner of the company that I'm doing my summer work at has a little hobby that he and his daughter share, they run a sand dragger. So today I got the job of building a new base for his air cleaner assembly, probably wondering why not just buy one? In this particular application he had already done the body for the machine, a jeep with four link suspension front and rear, his motor builder had done some changes on the intake on the motor and took up all of the space that was between the top of the air cleaner and the hood scoop that had been fabricated into the hood, he didn't want to alter it, yet he needed the additional air cleaner area to make the engine breathe. So I fabricated a drop-down base to allow for a 1" taller filter than the one that he originally had on it. This particular "jeep" runs a 532 c.i.d. big block, a four barrel Holley carb(don't know the cfm), full race altered TH 400, don't know the particular axles, but do know that they're solid spooled. Right at 1000 hp on 110 race gas and with the NOS on it's more like 1200 hp+. The funny thing about all of this for me is picturing his daughter(she's 16), racing it against all of the "big boys" and beating them. The boss told me that her reaction time is better than his, even, by a long shot. Regards all, aevald  One additional factoid, 200 feet in around 3.6 seconds or less, lots of noise and lots of sand
