The project had been on hold for a few years while others were done. This year the Tri-power was fired up. https://www.facebook.com/677482165607560/videos/3613866395302441/ Next the transmission will be built, and the car will be transferred down to my shop for completion. The air intake duct conca...

A local builder turned his dividers to the block. This forces coolant through the back of the block up through the rear of the head and forward to the front intake crossover. The large intake coolant passage was filled from the rear to front stoping at the crossover leaving it open. It is "plumbed" ...

Hey guys! I’m in the midst of building a 61 430 with reworked 58 Edsel heads e.g. ported, bigger valves ect. A Edsel intake manifold and ported exhaust manifolds, electronic ignition the whole ball of wax, my question being. What is a performance grind these engines really respond to? I want to rea...

Hello Buck,

I have a few odds and ends but nothing that size. That is some talented paint mixing to duplicate quart by quart.

One felt from the nest today and I manage to put it back there without issues. I will wait until they depart to spray both long sides. Cheers dudes I have a vent a hood e...

Your driving comparision with the tall and short manifolds is appreciated. Especially the hold down information. I've never had open spacers work well down low either on an FE. There should be some information here about the 390/428 GT/CJ camshaft re-grind on the MEL camshaft. I'll be out of state f...

I see you were still able to use the accelerator cable. Have you had a chance to check fuel mileage?
