Was'nt De Lynn working in conjunction with him?

First Pfizer tuesday 8th, any change in hairstyle would be welcome compared to the barren crop these days due for #2 on the 24th, too busy to notice any affects. Does the $5g get direct credited?

To add a bit of 'WHY' to Howards post... WHY do V8's often seem to be 'Heavy Breathers.. A lot is due to the layout of Rods/Pistons & Crankshaft. Close your Eyes and switch you mental vision on. As the two front pistons move down ( 1 in each bank ) the air under the pistons has to go somewhere-...

Read post 2, a bit of work, but works.

Had a 410 to rebuild a decade or two ago, If you like thinking outside the box a lot of stuff from 429-460 engines can be fitted with some mods around rear main seal etc, with all the stroker cranks available now you should be able to make up around 500 cubes with a steel crank. Heads are fairly...

Dont remember ever seeing E&F decals on SBF stuff Jim, but did sell a set of the 'square' ` 67/68 rocker covers from a late 289 that went on one of Lotus 30 sports cars that has raced @ Goodwood, it had large 'breather box's fabricated that added volume, IIRC you once posted pics of similar...

All gets a bit murky with the BBF moniker as there are the Lincoln , Edsel & Mercury offerings as well, Calliope was one.

Top of roof (98.0 cm high ) or 38.6'' high. Min Ground Clearance (10.2 cm ) or 4''. Ronnie Spain Book. Im assuming the two measurements were taken on same car/day and no allowance for any Gurney Bubble..

Didnt some of the early Ricardos become available to the kit car industry thru a similar chain of events, warranty replacement etc.

Especially when I had a brick holding the dictionary open on the 'S' page while rechecked my spelling!!

Me Too, although given Chris's attachment above I'm not sure I want to know, us septuagenarian's prefer to keep things simple. The only explanation I can offer as to why my motives might appear dark & hidden is they are so far back in the past they have not invented good light bulbs yet.

If you say so... Wondering if I should get my head digitised , or put on disc!

A-351 was essentially an upgrade/revised 351w SVO, 84 thru 90

Nothing stamped into rear face of block in third pic @ 9 0-clock or in top pic the area just in front of bellhousing bolts and to rear of rear coolant drain?. Pretty sure mate with nascar stuff has two similar engines, are the core plugs hex drive in center?

Play him at his own game, was Fran also going to act as an agent or licensed builder of your car?

There are a few other things I do during engine assy that can save a lot of grief, This applies to Ford pushrod engines only, Chevs need a bit of extra thought to make some of these work. When fitting new cam bearing shells, it is best if you use a jig that will pull the cam bearings into...
