I finally saw the fruit of my labour, the small-block Ford Racing Engine book I've been writing for the last two or more years. UPS just dropped off a box of them on my doorstep. I got slowed down right in the middle of writing it with a "small" case of prostrated cancer and the resulting surgery, but I got'r done.
Shown if me with my favorite project. The car is an ERA Mk1 powered by a stroked 302 (331) with gives about the same power although a bit more torque as the original race-prepped 302s used in the #6 and #9 1076 car.
The main cover car, the Probe drag car is power by a 302 stroked to 347 cu. in. from an SVO block fitted with SC-1 heads and two big Holley carburetors. Peak power from this beast was 920 hp, good for recorded setting 1/4-mile runs, but I doubt it could make a full lap . . . on a short track.
Time to think about writing a second book, or something to help pay for and justify my toys!
