David, glad to see you finally made it on the site, tell the members that don't make it to Columbus a little about your car.

Barry, Yes it has the 383 inch Lincoln Y Block engine in the WarBird.. JC made it but did not bring his car.
Here are the specs on my car:
I  It is a Altered Chassis Chrome Moly tube, pro built in the 80s and certified to 7.50 Body is a fiberglass 55 thunderbird
Engine is a 1957 Lincoln 368 Y block bored and stroked to 383. 12.5 compression, roller cam, home made intake. 750 Holley converted to E-85. It made slightly more than 500 hp at the crank. Racing C-4 with a 4000 stall converter. Frankland Quick Change rear with 4.44 gears. 10.5 W x 31 Mickey Thompson tires I doubt I can run in the 9.50s in present configuration. I am about maxed out on engine performance
