Hi, novice question here.  The anglia will run our injected flathead we have
campaigned for several years.  It runs the quarter in the 11's on just
captive water in the block and only gets to about 180 degrees or so after
the pass.  So when we run the Anglia at the drags, we'll run it just like
the dragster did.  However the question is Maxton.  Nose is quite small on
these cars so a radiator is a bit of a problem.  Thinking of a nose mounted
water tank for Maxton with an electric pump controlled from the drivers
console.  There appears to be a lot of cars running water tanks, I guess for
both weight and engine cooling.  I was thinking about a ten gallon size
aluminum tank to fit upright in the nose.  I have a son that owns a welding
business nearby (I'm finally recouping some of the monies from his
youth!!!!!!).  Interested in hearing about cooling, specifically for the
mile at Maxton.  Thanks much.   John
