That's Amanda. She's a cutie and damned funny. Very married too. Damn it. She's about five-foot nuthin' with some tig ol' bitties. When I first met her at SBSO last year she was wearing a shirt that said.........

"I'm not short. I'm fun sized."

I knew right then we'd get along great. :roflmao:

That big-inch hemi is a drag radial car too. One bad mf'er.

Really cool. Looking back - I sure wish I would have gone this route instead of building another 3V (or modular at all for that matter)...:chainsaw:

Would have been nice to have a 600" N/A monster.

This is making me seriously think about selling my car and going this route - no BS.

So if I went with a 565" C-headed big block with a clutchless five speed then you'd do it?

:LMAO:

By the way....if there are any of them left you can buy an '05-09 body in white for about $1800. I'm just sayin'..........

Yeah, those C heads are nice. Works of art. Need a 4.600 bore I believe.

Minimum 4.500" bore. I had a nitrous 565" engine damn near complete when my place was robbed back in '06. Friggin' "C" heads cost me almost $5K to complete and there were two sets of them stolen.

That Thunderbird was going to be one bad mf'er. Damn it.

And the aluminum block, Crower 4.25" crank, GRP aluminum rods (4 sets), JE pistons (4 sets), four camshafts, two intakes, four carbs, two converters, two Rossler T210 transmissions...........along with the car (just certified to 25.2) and 35 years worth of tools.

Yeah....I was a bit "peeved".
