I would to hear that motor sing ??

Lon,

         Next issue of Y Block will have some more of it. Would love to talk him into bringing it to an Expo. Would that be neat or what?

Lon, thanks for posting the link to this. I just finished looking at all the photos!. What a great job. This car will set apart from all those others with this engine and craftsmanship. Would like to see it in Columbus.

I'm thinking about that, Lon, but Columbus is a long way from Seattle.  There was no way to give enough credit to Pat, John, or Frank, either.

Miker , Is that your Hot Rod ??? Columbus is a heck of a lot closer to you than me ? I've managed to make the 9000 mile trip for the last 3 years.That car has to be a contender for AMBR award . You sure get my vote .

Regards Lon

Yes Lon, that is mine.  I know how far you come, and the first 6000 or so miles must need the wipers on high.  I appreciate the compliment, but you would have had to seen the finish levels on the AMBR cars to believe it.  I did, however, build the motor here in Seattle, although the only guy in town who would try to hook up a Y block to the dyno had a heallth concern and I had to ship the engine without running it.   The pic's don't show very well, but the T'bird valve covers are the ones I got out of NZ several years ago.

Thanks

Mike,

      You realize, of course that we'll try anything up to and including blackmail to talk you into bringing that car to Columbus. OR how 'bout we all come to Wa, and stay at your place?

Well, that's the problem with cut and paste, but the rest of it correctly id's the motor.

Frank, at the cost of gas, I can buy more burgers, and a fair amount of beer, than we can eat.  Bring your diamond slicks, its' what we use to race in the rain at Pacific Raceways.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend is the one who took that picture

There's a new Rod magazine out, called, appropriately, Rods The roadster is in the Pamona coverage. Have you been approached by any of the Mags to do a feature? Evidently my toothless threats about Columbus aren't working!
