Well, after contemplating it for a long time, I'm getting back to what started the car thing for me in the first place ! Hot rod Ford flathead V8's !!! ... so now, I think I might be worthy to be here I've been into the 59-64 Chevy / CDN Pontiac 409 and 348 cars VERY heavily for the past 25 years. I have a 62 BelAir sport coupe ( 2 dr hardtop ), 409HP 409, Jerico 4 speed, that is prepared for NHRA / IHRA Stock Eliminator drag racing. Looks like I may FINALLY have gotten ther traction issue sorted out, so after I re-assemble it over the next couple months, I hope to run it in a few NHRA / IHRA events here in Division 6. In Mission BC, it should be capable of high 10's @ around 121-122 MPH... making it the fastest / quickest qualified 409 Stocker of all time. great enough of that At the end of this season ( 2008 ), I will be hanging up the 409 valve covers. It's time to get back to what got me into cars in the first place..... Fat fendered Ford / Merc flathead V8 cars and trucks ! I've had my 35 Ford 3W since December 17th, 1991. Haven't done anything with it, except install a set of Evans high comp heads, my own tube headers, and put the car in black primer. It's time to get serious. Been into flatheads all along ( despite me "tour of duty" with 348/409 cars ). The new engine for the coupe will NOT be stock Starting with a 1946 Canadian ( actually out of a Mercury 1 ton truck ) 59A block. Anyhow... that's my introduction... for what it's worth
If you are who I think you are, there are a lot of W-guys onhere who would benefit from your experience. Post some stuff on the main board, Aubrey.
Thanks, Mr57 I've been trying to navigate around this site for the past few days. The pages seem to be VERY slow loading for me... 15-30 seconds each ( I have ADSL hig speed Internet ). Not sure what the main board is ? ! oh, 409's ? This is the race car:
