Reply to "Parker Funnel web intake and quench heads"

Interesting...The last time I spoke with him was in 92 or 93 during the Ford T drive project. He was building the four cylinder running proto-type and I built the straight 8 models for the Coutour and Mystique show cars. (still have an 8 and a V-16 version I built for fun) The Contour won the Detroit top design award that year.

We talked extensively about the Falkiner 12 based on the SB Chevy since he was in production doing large cubic inch BB Chevy block mods. We actually discussed the tooling to produce a V-12 based on the BB Chevy. I told him I could make the cores from standard tooling if he could get his hands on the original.

Also talked about the 6-12 crank journal strength---cam length was not an issue in him mind due to billet construction.

He was a very smart guy---and very strong being a power lifter.
