'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
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. |

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.
