Chrisman Brothers' Dragster
|
Although the dragster used a Chrysler Hemi at the first NHRA Nationals in Great Bend, KS, it earned its reputation with a Ford flathead V-8. Earlier engines included a Rajo-Model T, and later a Model A with a Cragar conversion. Supercharged motors remained hidden over the horizon in 1953. But a quartet of modified Stromberg 97s managed to do the trick for Chrisman's 304-cubic-inch flathead. View Related Article
