The horizontal set-up for type 1 has been made by Riechert as well, but I have never seen one for myself.
Both pics you posted are type 4 engines if I saw it correctly.
The first pic, please pay attention Oasis, is of a type4 engine that does 11,8 seconds in the quarter mile, and his horizontal Riechert set-up and same engine are in his GSR for over 25 years now!!
That 1/4 mile time has been run WITH that horizontal set-up in place and in a heavy curved window superbeetle (1303 over here) time and time again (DasDrag Day, EBI, etc)!!
So please spare me the B*llsh*t of 'if you want functionality'...
These set-ups are run since the mid-seventies and no engine ever suffered a break down because of it, on the contrary!
