Big Daddy Don Garlits Swamp Rat XIV Blown HEMI Engine Banner

When a transmission explosion cost Don Garlits part of his foot in 1970, he went back to his shop and built the car that changed drag racing forever: Swamp Rat 14, the first successful rear-engine Top Fuel dragster. It was a winner right out of the gate in 1971, and every Top Fuel car built since follows the layout it proved.

This piece puts the heart of that car front and center: the blown 426 Hemi, drawn in blueprint style over an engineer's grid, with the components that made it legendary called out one by one — Hampton blower with Cragar drive, Crower fuel injection, aluminum K-Hemi heads on a filled "Top Fuel" cast-iron block by Dodge, Jack Cotten magneto, Zoom clutch inside a Lakewood bellhousing, and Lee oil filter.

Finished with bold period lettering — "426 Hemi by 'Big Daddy'," "Don Garlits," "Swamp Rat 14." A centerpiece for any Garlits fan, Hemi lover, or drag racing history buff.

18 ounce premium vinyl printed with UV safe inks, grommets in the corners and every 2 feet if large enough.
