NSS Engine setback rules ??

[Mike Gaines]

This is a pix of my old funny car from 1967, right after I set the engine back 26" and before I put on the Hilborn Fuel Injection.
I wonder if this would pass the NSS rules that the motor couldn't touch the firewall....well, the motor didn't touch the stock firewall...because I remove it...lol
Remember, I was 24 years old at that time and did all this in the back room of my Speed Shop.
Thought you guys would like this pix...

The headers you can see (looking thru the car door) were called RAMCHARGER MARK III headers. I understand that only 3 sets of them were ever made. Each tube was exactly 40" long before they hit the collector. They had several slip joints for the installation. They were NOT fenderwell headers. I bought these in 1965 from Al Ekstrand's Max Wedge Lightweight car called the LAWMAN.

The headers you can see looking thru the cut out firewall was just a set of headers that I fabricated and they were 4 individual tubes on each side that just dumped behind the front wheel well as shown in the other picture
