The small block out of Chris Round's Rebellious car is now in my car......also the same engine which ran 5s in Peter Schofer's TMD
Spoke Peter and crew when they ran the small block. It's a Rick Santos motor. Did real well with it in TAD. Rumor has it. he scared the Hemi suppliers so much they lobbied to get the rules changed.

Hello just a bit of a thread resurrection. i am the current owner of rebellious and my work situation has changed quite a bit, self employed and not making any money. So the dragster is now for sale. I have sent a advert to eurodragster and i will put one in the for sale section. If any of you know someone that might be interested please call me. thanks

Ok - here is the definitive history of the "Rebellious" dragster up until Chris & Clayton Round purchased it from Bernie Hepworth/Borge Brothers.
The car is a 1977 Ruthven Engineering chassis (or was originally) and was raced in Top Alcohol Dragster at Division 7 and NHRA national events by Gary Christensen until I bought it in 1989, it ran a best of 6.2 with a Chev/Rodeck engine at Pomona.
The car was imported by myself (complete) and ran in Pro-Comp with a best of 6.4.
A serious engine blow-up forced a temp retirement and sale of the rolling chassis to Bernie Hepworth who put an all aluminium small block in it, raced in Top Methanol for about a year, put a new front end on (with small wheels) and lengthened the rear of the chassis, he then took it to Malta where the Borge Bros raced it - the rolling chassis then returned to the UK a few years later for Chris and Clayton to buy.
