I have three being built.The first is an original out of my contemporary.The block had been damaged and repaired(rod through the side).Robert Pond sold me three blocks,two aluminum and one cast iron. Robert knows his stuff and sells a good product and is a straight shooter.The cast iron block is the only one he has made with the oil drain holes drilled for the cammer heads. Other new cast Iron cammer blocks are on the horizon from other manufactuers.This engine will have the original dual fours and end up in a stock original 1966 T-Bird. This engine will have a 4.375 stroke.The stock heads have been flowed and are a work of art. The second engine is all aluminum with Bill Coon heads ,Comp Cams(new style)and Crower billet rods and 4.155 Crower billet crank with Hilborn electonic fuel injection. Art Chrisman of drag racing and Boneville fame is the builder of these engines and has modified these injection systems to look like mechanical(also a work of art no pun intended). This engine will go into a 1932 steel three window coupe.The third engine is for the Cobra It is all aluminum with Bill Coon heads,Crower billet rods and crank with stock stroke and rod length.The other engines will have longer rod lengths. Doug from precision oil pumps supplied all the chain sets and gears that were neded for the two aftermarket engines. I am in need of three timing covers. Bill Coon will soon be producing these too. Its been a lot of fun creating these projects.
