500 Cubic inch big block Chevy. Big Chief cylinder heads. Two 1550 Dominators with extensive reworking are sitting on a custom Pro Stock sheet metal manifold. This photo has the "old" Pro Stock scoop but the car currently has a KLRC Speed scoop. 5 stage dry sump oil system makes sure the parts continue to go around and around. L&T 8" triple disk clutch, currently with a Lenco 3 speed trans but a air shifted Liberty 4 speed twin countershaft trans is on order. This car leaves the starting line at 7500 rpm and makes the gear changes at 9800 rpm. wpe22.jpg (69806 bytes)

Car interior while under construction. Notice the adjust-a-rail pedal assembly with the clutch pedal. The brake handle is on the right by the seat. The shifter buttons are on the dashboard on the right. The dashboard cover is removable with just 4 dzus buttons. If you look closely you will see the seat belt hooks on the front seat uprights.

The "crotch" dash that goes between your legs provides an additional place to install gauges and install switches that are easy for the driver to reach. The handle on the left is for the transmission reverser.

The floor pan is a two piece unit which makes it easy to remove while the car is assembled making it easier to work on the car.

Throttle pedal with a toe hook. You can see the throttle pedal travel stop assembly which can move forward or backward to allow the pedal to be readjusted to suit different drivers. This allows the driver to place the pedal where it is the most comfortable as well as makes the car mover valuable if you ever want to sell it because the car now fits more different potential buyers.
