Hello,

I worked with Chris Larsen, and am a fellow car guy (although Mopars), anyway...

I have absolutely no idea if you knew Chris Larsen, but I know he was very, very into the ford Y block in the 2000-2010 era; he moved on to other things in his life, but cars and his truck were and are a big part of his life....

I know he spent much effort hand casting a valve cover for the y block as well as an intake and had dreams of doing a complete head.

if you did know him (or if you did not) he passed away two weekends ago, I am trying to let everyone know that he may have touched; if you had no dealings will him - fine; if you did please pass the word that he is no longer with us. I know the ford Y block community was very tight nit and was something that he was very passionate about.

I am only emailing you posting this based on a google search of Ford Y block people, but I know at one time this was one of his full time activities (he was also a quite well known and accomplished violin bow maker) and i wanted to pass on the sad news.

They are doing a remembrance this Saturday (2/22/2014) - in Cincinnati, if anyone might be interested in attending. Email me for the details.

With very saddened regards

Thank you for posting this on our site, many of us knew Chris. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Thank you for relaying this sad news about Chris.
Another fine person I met thru this website AND a trip to Columbus, The Y-block shootout.
May he rest in peace. I remember seeing those valve covers he was making!

Sorry to hear about Chris passing away. He use to show up at the Y-Block Shootouts but hasn’t been there lately. May he rest in peace.
