The salt is the best it's been in years! The pics are a series as we made our way to our pit this am. We are parked next to Danny Thompson, across from the Rolling Bones, and Tim McMaster - we are in high cotton!

Yep, it's a 262 cubic inch Ford truck six cylinder engine. Relative of the 223.

What kind of engine is this one

Looks like a 4 banger, dual overhead valve conversion. I don't know which one.

This bad boy uses a stock block and head - everything else has been researched and built by the owner, johnrodz. It sounds like a BB when it's fired up ! 400+ hp!

First pass was about 12:20 eastern time, listening to the radio, they said 65.483 mph if I got it correctly. TomT said "we had a problem ...." over on the HAMB. Might be things are okay, it is their first shakedown run. Waiting on more reports.

Something had to be wrong. 400 hp doesn't equal 65 mph. Hope to run into Tom @ Hershey to talk about his trip

Re: The XO/PP VA HAMB Special is off to Bonneville!
 

They made one more pass at 106. The 65mph pass was the trucks first ever pass and we assume he took it easy. Also reported a little glitch with the transition from push to driving that they were gonna adjust.
