Alex built that FED some years ago,was sorta old technology then,but now,,,back in style ...big time.. Cuts some mean passes,too..
Redneck might have some times that he cut..Havent seen any results yet..

Complete with a Ford Cammer and a McDonald's sign that says "Serving Petrol Heads Now".....ya just gotta love it. Also like the kid with the T shirt that says "Paint It Black"

I crewed on the 4 banger for the day. It is an aluminium Midget block (ala chevy 2) with an aluminium cleveland head on it .
Pokes out around 320hp , runs low 10's with plenty of potential yet .

unsure what times the Ford "cammer" FED was running - sounded absolutley mind blowing tho!

.

Sure would like to have one of the SOHC engines some day, man would it look great in my Ranchero!!!! --or most any other Ford product that a guy would want to put it in!!!!!

Yep Gotta like the 65 Falcoln with the straite axle front end give it some class.

Yeah,my mother had one when I got my drivers license,,,couldnt pull a sick baby off a potty....

I've seen the 2 door model & can see that they lend themselves fairly decent to the old drag race short wheelbase & big horsepower themes.

I dig them.

really great shots .. now .. why do most all other countries drive on the "wrong" side ?

My mums car was actually a two door ,Anglia,and yes,they do lend themselves to that use..There have been a few built with Ford V6,and BB 429 power,and GM-H V6,not to mention the SBC,and Fords..
I dont have any digital pix of any of them,because it was pre digital age..

Hoss,good question,,I suppose we drive on this side of the road because of good olde Mother England...although,its difficult to understand,why Japan is RHD,China is LHD,Europe is LHD,the pacific Islands are a mixture of both,and "any side I darn well want",as well..
