As long as we're on drag cars... Here's some pics I have floating around. The cars are not mine. They're from friends I had years ago.

not uncommon to drop a chevy in a Jag...my neighbor had one...although it was done out of neccesity rather than desire.

jag eventyally fell apart.

It's the only way to make a Jag semi-reliable.

What you don't see in the photo of the Jag is the full cage, narrowed 9" Ford, and wall-to-wall slicks. That's an 871 blower sticking out the hood. Under it is a 504 Chevy big-block.

The '64 'Vette uses the "low buck" approach. It's equipped with a 454 running a tunnel ram. Power is routed through a two-speed powerglide. Amazingly, It’s running the OEM four-wheel drum brakes. ('64 was the last year for drums.)

Here's my brand new '94 T/A at the track. 275 hp LT1 running through a ZF six-speed. It was quick for a new car, yet a bit of a slug in comparison to my friend's cars. Then again, I had A/C, and little to maintain between rounds.

I got up-close and personal with a few of those cars at the Monterey Historics last weekend.... I gotta say, the drivers who raced those death-baskets must have been completely insane. I wouldn't get groceries in one of those things!

Those guys definitely had a bad balls-to-brains ratio. Pretty cool Bugatti, but not even a pair of goggles!

The brits never made a refrigerator... They couldn't figure out a way to make it leak oil.
