Dove's lack of luck is too bad.  It would have been nice to see what the famous "Cammer" produced.  There may not be another chance, like with the Y.  Go Ted!

Mike, located in the Siskiyou mountains, Southern, OR 292 powered 1946 Ford 1/2 ton, '62 Mercury Meteor, '55 Country Squire (parting out), '64 Falcon, '54 Ford 600 tractor.

It looks like they might be listing the top 8 only on that link. Let's hope a Y shows up!

It should be running right now.

These are the comments from EMC crew. Well done Ted. Now we just have to wait and see all the rest results to see how high Ted will end up at ranking.

9:00 - Team #6 Ted Eaton Specialty & Balancing/Ford

Ted Eaton of Ted Eaton Specialty and Balancing has a fondness for the Y-block Ford. These engines were very advanced for their time, and achieved notoriety in Nascar and other racing venues in the late fifties. Ted sought to update the performance of one of these classic engines, while keeping a traditional look. The 375-cubic inch engine performed well, easily making over 400 horsepower. While the combination definitely came to the competition as an underdog, it was a treat to be able to see what one of these engines can do.

Pull #	1	2	3	Avg
Torque	379.6	377	377.5	378
Horsepower	354.9	352.1	352.4	353.1
Final Score - 1,949.8@ 375 CI

I think the highest score at the moment is 2.5 and something...

Well, we're not last! A 426 Chrysler got 1864.6 and there are a few that did not finish.

And peaking over 400hp on pump gas, something none of the mainstream magazines have done! That's sure to get some attention.
