Speedway Motors Racing Gasser Engine Parts

Gassers were those wild drag cars from the 60's that featured outrageously tall stances, big unruly powerplants, and huge slicks to propel them down the track. But just how did these insane creations come to be, and where did they go?

Here's another in our ongoing series featuring our customers' cars and projects. Chris's Willys coupe is the gasser that he's always wanted, and it's a knockout.

We knew we needed a special engine for our Week to Wicked Nova. Check out the 496 Big Block Chevy that we put together for our gasser!

Speedway Motors announced today the introduction of a new IMCA Modified Spec Racing Engine as they kick off the 2025 race season along with discounts Jan. 27-Feb. 2 to help their customers get ready for race season.

Scott's "Nemesis" '55 is a time machine that transports everyone around it back to the glory days of drag racing.

The dyno at the Speedway Motors Racing Engine shop is always humming. We set up a camera in the cell to catch a few of the engines that have passed through the door recently.

To get the nose-up drag car look that we wanted for our Week to Wicked Nova project, we used one of our Gasser Axle kits. These bolt on in place of the stock front clip and instantly transform the car, making it look like it rolled right out of the 60's!

On Day Four of Racer Appreciation Week, the Speedway Motors team visited the shop of Speedway Racing Engines for a tour.

Today’s we’re doing all the plumbing of the brakes, the fuel system, the trans cooler, but we’re most excited about the 496 big block Chevy backed up by the Powerglide transmission!

This veteran of the legendary "gasser wars" of the 60s looks right at home in the Museum of American Speed.
