I'm going to bump this topic up again as we still haven't got a positive ID.

I have looked on Acceleration Archive -Allan Currans Collection -Dragsters page 8 and thought i had solved it. there is a dragster Quarter Horse 2 by Bill Haynes and the front axle mounts are right but other things are not quite right-- its worth a look---your eyesight might be better! Now we have some better pics of the back end of the chassis you can see it has been cut about quite a bit. Look at the upright alongside the motor on the L/H side-it is smaller diameterand in a different place to the one on the R/H side- with the diagonal either side of the upright missing. Hpoe they're not going to run it like that!!!Norm, I reckon the chassis has been modified (badly) to take a late hemi, the oil pump was a problem and could be the reason the diagonal has been removed, Why the upright is missing or relocated I wouldn't like to guess..
