Well this thread went better then expected. that vipre is mean I, if it is a top fuel dragster then the radiator dose not need to cool the engine for very long so it dose not have to be big. Also cooling the engine is not just about radiator size it also has to do with flow rate and what kind of fiuld you use. Pro top fuel dragsters I have been told do not even have coolant they are cooled by the methonal coming into the engine? Don't know how true that is.

I don't know ferrari engines that well but I don't think they ever made a 4 banger, could be a fiat engine with ferrari lable cam covers.

Ferrari made a lot of 4cyl engines back in the 50s to suit racing classes of the day.

top fuel engines do not have radiators or anything related to your normal cooling system, the engine block and heads are forged alu with no water passeges, only oil passages. the cooling comes from the mass amount of fuel and oil that is being pumped through. plus they are not running for a long time and are basically rebuilt every run.
same goes for top Alc cars too.


hear is a Alan Johnson stage 5 head used on a top fuel car.
-the top 8 holes are for head studs
-on the top corners are the oil return holes
-the holes below that,(small,med,small)are for dowls located on the deck of the block.
-5 holes going across the middle part of the head are for head studs
-the two large openings on the bottom corners are not used,weight saving
-the next row of holes are for the push rods.
-the small holes at the bottom of the head surface
between cyl 2,4 and 6,8 are oil feed holes for the rocker assembly

I am not 100% sure but these engine see well over 200 PSI of oil pressure.
