In a Deuce roadster I had a considerable number of years back, I had a roller cammed 351W with the old Ford SVO aluminum (I think J302??) heads and a Vindicator built and flowed 650 Holley DP with a Doug Nash street 5 speed.... It was one of my own Deuce Chassis' with Heidt's IFS and a 9" rear with unequal length parallel 4 bar with Watt's linkage and coilovers.... Handled like a slot car, accelerated like a drag car, and still got 16 mpg at a cruising speed a click or two above the limit.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
