Ron,s motor combo came from a New York taxi cab and was the brainchild of him and Gene Bichlmeier. It has a 3 in stroke and is basic lt1 setup but is an iron head motor. The reverse cooling is a problem with them as any lt1 because of the extra water holes in the deck and cly head so runing a aftermarket block is not a bolt together deal. It also also has a 5.8 or 9 something long rod that was just reaproved by NHRA not to long ago. In running GT/MA you best have your act togrther with the likes of bob dennis and kevin murpfy with there caddy motors then don,t foget about town and shaffer with 2bl 350s this group was always on the top of the sheet. His run was made in bracket trim and was the first run on the engine since last april when he broke it. All for not when the weather deal took over. I know Ron feels bad over the deal and will move on. But is not our class perfromace based or that the way it started out to be. Its not for us to shoot arrows at him but to shake his hand and say way to go you done good. Way to go Ron and call if you guys need bail money on your trip {wish I was there}. Tom
