SKAIRLANE! GEAR GRABBIN' GASSER! FE 427 SOHC INJECTED '55 FORD FAIRLANE! BYRON DRAGWAY!
The gasser car scene has seen an increase in popularity in recent years and Jeff Jacobson's '55 Ford Fairlane is one example why. Jeff built and painted the car along with his "Border Bandits" crew in his Beloit, Wisconsin Brothers Auto Body Shop and Jacobson Speed Shop. All the lettering is the handiwork of Jason Vanderwoude at NSD paintwerks. The "Skairlane" is powered by an Hillborn mechanically injected FE 427 SOHC built by Mike and Matt Faucher with pistons by Ric Panneton who also helped out with the car build. This setup, along with the custom fender well headers by Jacobson Speed Shop and a G Force 101A 4 speed make for the loud gear grabbing wheels up insane passes the crowds come to see! The beautiful interior sports custom seats and headrests stitched up by Mikey Brown of Mikey's Upholstery. Props go out to Quain Stott and the South East Gassers for help along the way also. Last but not least is Jeff's back up girl and wife Amanda for all her help and support.

Nothing beats and old school gasser with injection ! Love the red glass and matching scoop... launches like a bat outta hell 😎
I have a 427 FE mid riser / 4 speed powered 2 door 55 Fairlane Club Sedan gasser Ive built in the last 2 years. Shes no 427 SOHC kinda powered old girl but she damn for sure gets with the program . Best 1/4 mile so far has been 11.22 @ 134.34 mph . Having some traction issues still but will eventually get her to hook like she should
I've seen this beast twice. In 2018 he took home the A gas trophy in Lyons Indiana.
The Best Part it is a stick 4 Speed nothing beats hearing gears being punched.

The throttle response with that sohc engine is explosive . And it sounds very different to the push equivalent .
Gorgeous race car with a young man driving it. It's so cool to see the young preserve that old stuff. My glory years were spent with S code FEs. As boat anchor as those things felt and looked while building and installing them they sure ran good. "Iron Men Don't Wear Bow Ties." Hot Rod mag spring 83, "390 To Go" and the rear valance on my race cars.
Man I love love old gassers. This Fairlane is beautiful.
First off, what a blast to watch this car get down the track. Thank you! It so reminds me of the A/FX funny cars of the mid 60's. The big jump at the launch and the wheel hops going through the gears, even the engine sound of a Hilborn injected 427 and the 8k gear shifts. 34 dislikes, WTH???

I kept waiting for him to hold it full throttle all the way down and he still lifted early on the 9.05 pass . 138 mph is mid nines so it has more mph than that if he stays in it all the way through . I expect it could run 150mph and 8.90' E.T.'s , sweet car

I heard that! I was a regular at Tri-City Dragway in Saginaw/Bay City the 70's. We has some seriously badass cars there. Don Garlits, Connie Kalitta, Shirley Muldowney, Hemi Under Glass. Don Prudhomme, really, I can't even remember them all. We used to walk right into the pits and get that Nitro exhaust right in our faces. Amazing to see this old Gasser. Fantastic car!
There's is no engine on Earth that sounds better than an old FE hitting the revs backed by a 4 speed.

This thing is as angry and pissed off as it gets! ... Badass machine
Got to see this beast at Byron a couple times. Very nice build and choice of engine can't be beat! Love the dropped n drilled front axle, such a perfect period look. Hope to see you this summer!
9.05 I believe was the last 1/4 time. That's very shocking to me. Usually takes a muscle car on big tires to get below 10 seconds. Obviously the set up on this machine is working very well. Great work all around dude. Even the driving. You make it look easy.
Fear starts with FE! What a monster...
Loved it! Suspension needs a bit more tweaking, but that kind of suspension is a bear to dial in. I'd be up for the challenge if it were mine.
Driver, You are crazy! Love the car and the speed shifting was awesome! Getting light under the front tires in 2nd gear was bad ass! Long live the FE!
That car has a beast under the hood. It's not just a hotrod, it's a race car.😳😆👍

The idle had to be really high to keep the plugs from loading up. Plus the initial timing had to be up there and they wouldn't idle low because of fouling. The lopey idle could be done, just not at the track. Just an FYI. R45 were expensive even then.
