Walt,
For a retarded guy you sure are building performance engines faster than Ford did. Sure hope the owner posts a picture of the final assembly. What do you do in your spare time? Good job!
John

ps, oops, spell check said it should be retired not retarded. Sorry about that

No, it just has 59 on the bell. It does have that round spot on the bell that you can drill for full flow filter. Probably Canadian block. Walt

Oh No!! you better hurry and get it off that engine stand before the engine self destructs in a hundred pieces. Ha ha, I just had to stay that! It seams the engine stand police come out every time they see one mounted like that.
Anyway, good looking engine Walt.

You'r "Amazing"...........you are turning out these engines at a real fast pace, in spite of your ailments.

Walt, got any posters on the wall that say, "an engine a day keeps the Doctor away ?" Do you have to be licensed by FOMOCO as an authorized rebuilder ? Somerville ain't got nothin on you buddy ! Great work
