Instructions
1. To erect a secondary dragster, break ground with a rolling chassis. It should come with a finished Chauffeur's compartment and all pedal linkage, brakes and steering intact. Up thrust the chassis off the ground at least 24 inches. Back the frame using wood blocks or a frame lift. Cause decided the frame is continuous and that the supporting blocks are spaced far Sufficiently apart to last supporting the weight securely as besides weight is added to Everyone boundary of the chassis. Secure the front wheels including tires on the front axle. Straighten the revolve onto the axle using existing turn studs or a hub-centric axle that centres the rotate on a pin prior to securing the circle to the axle.
2. Secure the engine mounts to the tube frame. Tighten the mounting bracket to the frame against using the frame bolts that come with the bracket. Seat the engine onto the bracket and benefit the bolt fasteners to associate the engine to the mounting bracket. Be definite that the handle shaft side is facing the rear axle circle, which Testament be connected by the chain. Mounting the engine in reverse is practicable, so recompense consideration to the street you seat the engine onto the mounting bracket before tightening the bolts all the way.
3. Attach the clutch and clutch wheel to the engine so that they are aligned with the drive wheel of the axle. Connect the chain around both engine and drive shaft sprocket and tighten the chain by adjusting the space in between the engine and the axle drive wheel. Finish securing the engine to the mounting bracket when the chain has been tightened correctly. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts with even pressure.

Secure the cable in place with the engine cable clamp and recheck the travel of the cable end to be sure the pedal activates the throttle correctly. Wire the ignition to the driver's compartment and connect the battery prior to testing.
5. Put on the large, rear slick tires after completing the engine installation. Lower the car to the floor and begin testing the parts after assembly. The lug nuts on each wheel should be evenly tightened. Do not completely tighten one lug then another. Work around the wheel and tighten with a torque wrench to spec. Raise the completed car from the wood blocks and remove the supports.
