A friend of mine is updating his Pro Mod just got the car back from Eddie and all the new tube work is done allong with the sheet metal. New rules call for a steel firewall and he made a bigger blower setback for the new PSI 14-71 Hi Helix mag case and intake on a BAE Billit block and heads. New carbon fiber front end and doors are custom one offs and should remove 100-125#'s we wont know till its all together because there were many changes. We are going to completely strip the car rewire and plumb everything and new paint. I will add pic's as we go :good

Brad Anderson 500ci Billit hemi block with the chevy style head. Most of the Top Fuel teams use his blocks and his heads can't be beat. Everything is top quality and should have no problem making the show. The car ran high 6.30's with the old twin turbo motor but this should get him into the teens

It's going to be fun :cool

Picked up the first motor last week. Plans changed and changed again and again... 517ci BAE(Brad Anderson) Hemi Head, goin with a clutch and a Lenco. The rest of the parts and pieces should be here soon. Eddie is going to get the motor in the car as soon as he gets a break from the Pro Stock guys. We should test in September.

A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

Nope! I haven't seen or heard from him in a year or more. This car belongs to Marty Palbykin. He's a pilot for a big Jet leasong company and Jim Clicks pilot also. He is gearing up to run the full Pro Mod tour next year.

I think he feels the same way :rolleyes

Yep, doin most of the work there. The car is at Martyâ€™s now just waiting for Eddie to get back in town. After Eddie gets the motor mounted I'm going to build new headers and relocate the steering shaft outside the frame rail. Wiring is simple and almost complete. Just waiting on a few more parts to show up

No Eddie so we got busy and got the motor in. The mid plate was a chore.... measure 20 times and cut once!!! there are many rules that NHRA specifies for Pro Mod so everything had to be perfect. I'm now working on all the under chassis tin and we should be testing next month. Lots of work and fun
