Reply to "500 BHP 351 Cleveland"

Thanks George, have not raced recently and I am afraid the bean oil may have the Norton gummed up. (although I have been putting the final touches on a Vincent Rapide for EBAY auction) I am still jamming trying to get back in the house from the Katrina damage. We will be back in Dec 1 regardless of whether it is ready or not. That is also the excuse for the lack of car progress, as our furniture is stacked all around it in the shop and all I can do currently is write checks and collect parts. Not to say this is not also fun, just frustrating. Hoping to come back from PRI with some more stuff (efi). The car will, I believe, be worthy of some edit, mainly because the guy I got it from had done some exceptional work and collected a ton of top shelf parts prior to selling me the "project". I 'm not sure who I am going to get to build the motor. I talked to Roush recently and they have built two Clevors recently so they are up to speed on the particulars. the McKeown guys also seem like a good prospect. I have a guy here who would be absolutely precise, but without Ford experience. Originally I had planned to have James Lyle in Georgia put it together. He is a Ford guy and spent time with Ernie Elliot. Anyway, I will keep you posted. Thanks as always for your contribution to the forum. Dave Ferrato
