Those old Ford big blocks can be made to run hard! Why, back in the day (1960) some factory 352's were sporting 360 hp. Later, 390's, 406's and 427's weren't slouches either.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Here's a 598, yes 598, that would make that car scoot:

Damn nice. Wish we were closer... have an old 51 Dodge Truck of Gramps that deserves to be worked on, and driven... instead of being in the shed all these years...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
The road runner looks great. Its down in Iowa with it new/old owner and they have been attending lots of shows and bringing home trophies. They are very proud of the car, they send m photos from different shows from time to time.
When we were thinking up names for mine and Dave's new shop....since the roadrunner made this possible it should have been named either
Roadrunner & Coyote auto shop
Or ACME auto works.
Still not too late to get a new sign Dave
That'S what I'm here for buddy is to help. And get paid of course !
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
How is the whisky runner coming along? Pics? Update?
I've been working on the paint booth all week, previous to that I had a week off for an elk hunt.
The exhaust ducting and fans is what I have been working on this week. Honestly its 2 or 3 man work (which I don't have), heavy stuff, awkward, suspend from ceiling, fitting 24" ducting. I've been up and down the ladder a thousand times since Monday morning, done some really sick spiderman like moves, hanging by a leg or arm while running sheet metal screws with cordless drill. Not a fun week so far. But I have it all installed now. Thank god, now I just need to put a couple ceiling panels back on the booth, run some more anchor bolts etc and I can get back to work on the 64 galaxie.
Well when we win the lotto down here,i told the wife that i was going to hire one of my buds to truck the 71 landcrusier,68 mustang and i might drive the 63 chevy truck up there. Just so you could stay busy.
roger that....AND his first job is to help out his poor moonshine runnin' Ma ![[Linked Image]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/EvilTwinMar/Sabretooth-1.jpg)
