Wow, what a roll model. We need more like him. RIP, sir.

 

Condolences to You and Your Family. Thank You for sharing pictures of His life . Looks like He lived it to the fullest.

 

Sorry for your loss. I dread that day myself. Dad is 86 this year.

 

When I was a teenager my dad was on the crew of a B/SR and I spent a lot of time at the drag strip. The roadster started out with a 289 then went to a Boss 302. It eventually got a 426 Hemi until returning to the Ford ranks with a 351 Clevor and finally a 460. Being a Ford guy I always loved your dad's B/SR. Sorry for your loss.

 

Condoleances to you Chris. Sorry to hear. Fantastic photo's though, especially these. What's in it for power in these pics, isn't that a Boss 302?? I only speak bowtie, sorry.

 

Yes, Kevin. Dad actually built the first true drag Boss 302. He won the Supernationals first competitive event for the combo.

 

This 260 was the first power plant. Dad purchased the motor from Carol Shelby at a time when he was retrofitting Cobras.

 

That's 1 of 5, Pete Jackson injectors for a Boss 302, I have been told.

 

Sincere condolences for your father’s passing.
I’ll always remember his RPU, it was my kind of race car.
