Default Re: Ford 385 Family Engine 370 429 and 460

Thank you Rotor wrench

Machine shop guy down the street worked for Carrol Shelby at the El Segundo

shop. Machined the front end parts that had to be made.

El Segundo shop was right after the Venice garage where the first couple

were made. He does the cutting on our race car frames now.

The race car frames we build are '4 tube'. They can have the second tube

'low' like a Dragmaster rail. Top tube can be 6-8" above the bottom tube.

Or the top tube can be 'high' like a Midget or Sprint Car. About 18" above

the bottom tube.

If you build it 'low' engine accessability comes out about the same as a T

roadster. High and it is still pretty damn good.
