Avoid a showdown at the corral with Ken and his 66 vette! 0.018 and 0.005! WOW! :eek2: I saw Rob C click off an 0.001 with that killer 69 syc camaro.Thought I saw daylight under LF too. ou: You guys have got game in ya!
There were 2 that hit dead on their factory rating - the 428SCJ of Tom Atres and the blue SC360 Hornet :shock: at 285 of Mark Weymouth :TU: . The highest over rated hp is the 72 Buick GSX of Joe Shepard @ 135hp over factory rating :eek2: Next after that was the 72 GSX of Steve Caruso @ 101 over factory rating. Lon
Overfactory rating on horsepower? Looks like I was the 3rd highest overated car with 100 over the factory. If you notice, all 3 highest cars are 1972 models. The first year they were rated with all the accesories and at the rear wheels I believe. Somebody correct me if my info is wrong. The 1973-1974's will probably be like that also. It does look like we are cheating,but that would be illegal. o No: Can't wait to do it again. Glad we raced when we did.Last weekend we would have needed oars to get down the track. Hey Benoit, that's oars with a O not a W. Send me some Gumbo!
Did '67 Ford Fairlane 500's come with hood hinge springs? The one I was paired up against, had a prop rod, and no springs o No: . Fiberglass hood from the factory? Joe X.
Still have not seen it, but rumours are the mightly ZL-1 did'nt even make it in the top 10 o No: Did I make the top 15????? :shock: Peter
Yes.....what they found is the springs were good for 50hp each and the hood was 75hp. :laugh: :laugh: All kidding aside, sweet posting there Frank as usual. :TU: Thanks for the little extra on the '58
Being in the top ten requires timing.... o No: :laugh: :laugh: I made the bottom ten! :3gears: :laugh:
Frank, Thanks for the picture and result info, Don't have Excell so I couldn't download Jensen's version. The '57 Custom should be referred to as an "F" code, R codes came later with the 406's and 427's. This car is one of the Y block (312's) that was seriously underestimated, even by me before I built it. It ran a best of 14.03 @ 102.55 after the racing was over.

Brian, Any chance we can con you into bringing the Merc to Columbus next year for Ford Expo? might have another Super M there from Wisconsin! Also give you a chance to re-ignite the Ford vs Merc wars against my F code. Pegleg
When is it? Weekend after next I'm taking it to the Floyd Garrett Museum until August.... At least I thought it was until August. o No:
Hey Brian, That is too cool that it is going to Floyd's! :bglasses: I would say free storage for the winter, but if you are having to haul it down... Are you going to keep the rubber in the quarter panels? :3gears:
He likes to have them for a year to avoid "winter storage". But I said I'd need it in August to prepare for Stanton... Otherwise I'd need to keep it home. :beer
Brian that is great. Floyd is the best he nurtured both of my Challenger's in the past. I will be down there for the Forge show in lateish October. If your car is already there I will visit it for you. Pete I believe you were fifth. It went L88 , L88, Hemi, LS6, and your ZL1. You still have a few spots before you are in the bottom ten. It may have been the closes you have ever been to the bottom ten but I doubt you have many worries about speed when you ran a 12.130! Will we be seeing any NHRA blueprinting for you this winter so you can move back up that list? :beer Mark
Brian, Will be labor day weekend 2007 Usually last w/e of aug Fri until Sun. Pretty good group of Y block nuts. Had an 8 sec roadster from Oregon and a 9 sec altered from Texas there this year. Go to Yblocks forever.com and look under Ford Expo. Pegleg (Frank
