I just finished helping Tom freshen up the 368 Lincoln from his 57 Ranchero.  We hope to have some more pictures, video, and good numbers from next weeks dyno session

That's too cool for words. Several years ago, at Del Mar IIRC, there was a 57 with a similar set up with the dual quads on a 312. I have a similar bracket for the supercharger for a 292 I got from C Conley years ago. But a Lincoln? How cool. Does the dual drive system still work for high boost?

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!

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 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

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

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

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
