I guess that I am the guilty party, but rules are rules. I changed the Avatar also.
I had a picture of my 99.9% stock '54 F 100 and got deleted because of the wheels, Then the roadster got deleted for the not traditional, lets see if a bone stock '57 survives.

 

Running these two at the moment.

 

Work-in-Progress:

 

Here's an interesting one for my American friends. Look closely.

 

Hey neighbor, is that a "poly"?
That is a cool looking engine, how about some details.
I'm sure you have seen this article, in case anyone else hasn't it is worth the read.
A bit of a hybrid, but very cool.

By the way Greg, stop in some time.

Hi Doug:

Thanks for your compliments. Yes, that is a 318 poly that is now in my truck and used to finish up all of the fabrication and connection details. The engine in the picture is actually a 110,000 mile original that is my "test mule" and in parallel, I'm completing a fresh engine. The picture shows adapters I made to use 302-351 headers on the poly after I found the port center to center distance to be pretty close. There are lots of nice headers out there for Fords and not so many for Poly 318s. This picture also shows a plenum I machined to adapt an Edelbrock 3-duece manifold to single 4. I machined 2 separate tops, one for a 4-barrel (now on my truck) and the 2nd that adapts the Magnuson supercharger seen in the picture here. I modified a Weiand single-4 manifold that will have the Magnuson on my new engine given that I could get the engine height to be much lower that the modified 3-duece manifold with plenum. The engine in the picture is mated to a TKO-600 transmission.

The new engine is the same except with forged pistons, balanced a fair amount of head work, etc. Fun stuff. This should be right @ 500 HP . I'll send you a PM shortly!.

I agree, here's one I like.
