Mini Rail Dragster Revival! - 3 Liter GM Installation Complete!

Started on a new project at the shop today! This ol' homebuilt Mini Jr Dragster was previously runnin' a Ford engine between the rails. Now the plan is to install this mildly hopped up 3.0 GM. Got a bunch of junk carved off the chassis and fixed up before attaching this new mill to the trans and fabbing up some engine mounts. Then moved on to making all of the provisions to get the cooling system to run to the rear mounted radiator. Finished off with making a alternator bracket and new flange for a intake and header build.

Nice work! Adding the extra trans mount seems like a smart move. Always good when people go out of their way to make thing a bit better.

Hey Ben, that’s going to be a fun little ride! Nice job on all the fab work, too bad the blower didn’t work out, that would have been pretty cool! Thanks for the video!
