Indy went to 1 grade point today. Right now there are 42 spots open in Super Stock; he'll get his grade point at BG, and then hope there are still spots available.

Scott, I was at Jimmy's the other day dropping off some work. The 396 is in. He'll probably come to Bowling Green this weekend for the combo.

It will be interesting to see how it runs. What's the difference in weight and hp ratings?? I ran the car as a '67, I don't know what year he is claiming now. I think I ran at 3290 when I ran the L88 in SS/B.

I can't give away any of the secrets I know, the crotchety old cuss will be on me like white on rice if I do. :D

Shot heard round the world... lol well at least to Afghanistan. Three very nice hits for the first time out with a new car. I would say it should be a class contender once its tuned in.

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
Dallas and the Wreckin Crew were at Edgewater last night for a little test and tune. Dick Butler was right , what a beautiful car. Six years in the making. Silver over Poppy red. You have to see this one in person. Been watching Dallas race for over 45 years, all of his cars were great looking and fast, but this car is over the top. No surprise, a couple of passes , plenty of power and a 9.06 first time out. No need to say any more. Good luck Dallas and hope to see you at Indy.

Plenty of POWER for Shore!!:D Dallas Kelly.

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
Hopefully things will go well at BG and there is still room at Indy once he get that grade point. Then there will be three T-bolts in SS/B. 1964 all over again....:D

And one T-bolt in A/SA:

7402 - A/SA - Tibor Kadar - Peoria AZ - '64 Fairlane Ford 427 - TOM NOLAN

1964 all over again indeed!

Definitely not, against Paul Adams or Jimmy Bridges, and probably not against Ray Paquet.

Dick Butler 08-13-2012 06:14 PM

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
Good news. I know Dallas has "hand done" this entire work of art. MPR does a wonderful chassis job and Dallas should win Best engineered. Good luck Dallas I am so excited for your come back to SS. Too Bad we couldnt Keep TOP/SS a little longer. Maybe it is time to restart..

Scott -

'66 427 - 2998 SS/B Iron heads, 3063 Alum heads 435/445

'65 396 - 2738 SS/B Iron heads, 2803 Alum heads 395/405

These are achievable. My car weighed 2775 w/driver when it was built. That was without lightweight seats, with iron heads, filled block. We had 350 lbs. above the rear axle and additional 100+ ballast in front of the radiator to make the 50-50 rule (remember that?).

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
Not sure to be honest. Charlie posted a photo on Facebook but I couldn't tell where they were.

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
Congrats Charlie on your first Ford experience, but be careful these ole FE school bus motors will grow on ya.

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
It went pretty well. We were helping Ray get used to the clutchless trans, shift light stuff.
He should be fine at indy. I still dont have the new motor done yet, seems that the fords I have been working on lately, take forever.

Welcome to our world Charlie. You can't just go to the local parts store or aftermarket for that mater with out being on the special order it will be 8 to 10 weeks or longer list.

Re: INDY: SS/B looks interesting
 
I ordered tool steel lifters for my AMC stocker in March! This will be their first set they've made so I knew it would be awhile. On Monday I'm placing an order for a Hall effect distributor from ICE Ignition. They're in Australia. I'm sure my parts will be on the slowest boat available. I'm used to it.
