Description

While not a tiger, a Sunbeam Alpine makes for a nice drag car too. Looks like a Small Block Chevy and Automatic.

Ha, that thing is pretty neat. Might need a little nitrous though :)

He is on the NOS, I think it flashes a view of the tank in the trunk. I can imagine that car being a hand full. They are funny looking when set up as a drag car.

Cool (or is it "sick" nowadays?), but isn't it rather a '63 S3? Did you keep any portion of the original "frame" (I know it's uni-body) during the mods? Cheers

Didn't find out much about the car when I found the video, but given how much is gutted from the front end I would expect that is has some tube work to keep things together. My tiger is tight with a SBF and the SBC is larger and I don't think much other then mass metal removal could be done for the fit. The regular Tiger chassis seems actually pretty strong except for where welds fail at a couple stress points, but after 40+ years anything like that will need work...
