Re: Best Pontiac Powered Stockers
Just got an Email back from the Butlers. They don't do Stocker engine builds either.
They recommend Mike McKinney, in Indiana. I know that Mike did a lot of racing with Pontiacs. Didn't know he was building Stocker engines for others. Found his FB page, & sent a friend request. Not much posted there, so he may not even use it. His son Marty is on my friends list. But, I've posted & ask him a question. There has been no reply & nothing posted on his page since.
So, anybody have contact info for Mike ?
I found a couple of pics. One shows Mike driving the Hard Times '68 Bird that was Truman Fields' car that he won the '73 US Nats with. Mike then won the '77 US Nats with it. The pic shows the car at the Gators. It was an article in a 1979 newspaper. It said that Mike had won a race in '77. I assume they were referring to that US Nats win. But, I'm not sure. So, did Mike also win the Gators one year ?
The other pic I found is of a For Sale ad for Truman Fields' Hard Times Bird. Says it was a D/S record holder, which would run 11.50's. price $3500.
