ISO Drifter f/a in WI

4 plugger should really make that chassis jump

I think if my memory serves me right, those 440 F/A quad plug T7 engines produced 45ish hp. stock (so double what the orig 340 pumped out).  Prob not much extra weight either....

BREAKING NEWS!!!   I am not losing my mind!  The F/A Drifters in fact have a STEEL BELLY PAN...   took a second look.  The foot stirrups are also different on the F/A's.  Looks like the tunnel is the same.  So, just to clarify my own question...   the Fans and Free Air are a bit different.  I suspect the steel pans were used on the F/A's to cut costs.  You learn sumpin' every day.

that i never noticed, you do learn something everyday.....all the more reason to use a fanner,will be lighter

[Tory944]

I suspect the ten extra lbs on the 80' F/A  steel belly pan is an even "wash" with the fan aluminum belly pan considering the fan engine prob weighs 10 lbs more than the F/A engine.  This would explain why the advertised weights of both sleds are close. IMO

Did you ever get a bite on a F/A and what part of Wis are you in??
