Notes: “This was the Donovan engine from my '74 T/F car with 11.3:1 pistons and an alcohol cam, it had Donovan heads that came out in late '74 and the new "shotgun" Hilborn injector. I had sold my T/F chassis and was building a lightweight new chassis for Pro/Comp, Dick Nelson was running this altered with an injected 468ci. big block Chevy on gasoline (petrol). We put my motor in it to test the alcohol combination during the '75 season. Crazy George was the driver for the Chevy car - we had trouble at first with the car carrying the front wheels because the engine was only 59" out, and the coil over shocks (dampeners) would make the car difficult to handle when it set the wheels down. We replaced the coil overs with steel rods and added a 125# weight bar to get the car to handle. We were competitive and known for spectacular burnouts, but the engine was very hard on valve springs. After the season was over, I received a picture of a burn-out from the front of the car and George was doing wide open throttle - like he did with the injected Chevy! I ran this engine with a short stroke crank in my new dragster during '76 & '77 with Jack Mitchell driving. I parked the car in '78 due to my growing corporate responsibilities and worked for NHRA at most major events with Carl Olson in the manufacturer's program until 1983 when I got involved with running the "Telstar" for Doc." - from Jerry Newman, courtesy of https://theaccelerationarchive.co.uk/powerful/pierre_07.html. |
