Billy, the song was written by Charlie Ryan and referenced a V12 Lincoln.  Later on Johnny Bond covered the song and changed the wording to include the V8 Lincoln.  Commander Cody subsequently did a really good cover of the song and kept the V8 wording.

Here it is idling on my garage floor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FilwfQKlwRI&feature=youtu.be

Frank  we dropped compression from a static 10.5 to 8.5 . Careful gasket prep and switched to a Best gasket. Increase bolt torque and careful re-torquing.. Changed to a cam with less cranking pressure...  Pray

What  have you done to cure the head gasket issue? Sure looks neat.

I just put it on there to get the engine started... We will also use it to hook to the dyno.. Tom used an automatic bell for the C-4 conversion

So the bell housing on the pictured engine is only for testing or mockup?
I have the "rare factory parts" (or most of them) and it was still a bitch to get right.
Thanks Royce

Tom is running a C-4 automatic behind his. I have a couple 368's with stick trannnys.  Unless you are lucky enuf to have some of the rare factory parts it can be pretty involved.

So I gotta know more about that clutch setup. Can Tom elaborate on that ?
I had a hell of an expensive time getting the clutch stuff right in my 368 wagon. Would really like to know how Tom did it!

I think Commander Cody wrote a song about that engine!
