DRAG FINK'S 327

Dave Akard's Burbank Speed and Machine. Best racing engines in the Valley! Since 1968!

Here's yours truly with my Small Block Chevy 327. Almost ready for the dyno, then right into the Dragmaster dragster! I have vintage top fuel Mickey Thompson valve covers to keep the early 60's look. There's no way the front end of that dragster will stay on the ground!

Here's a cool shot of the Rochester tri-carb set-up on the Offenhauser intake. Real boss.

RAT FINK the DRAGMASTER!!!!!

Hey Rat Fink Fans!!!! Here's a quick black and white drawing I did last July, and thought I'd throw it on the ol' Drag Fink blog for you guys to dig on. Rat Fink is on a 1962 Dragmaster dragster. (Just in case you were wondering.) Take care gang and come back soooon! Your Cartoon Drag Pal...Jeff
