Mr. Fixit
Ihaven't seen one of those but I think they would be a pretty tight fit, especially the 460. The drivers footbox had to be modified on mine (by Johnex) to clear the FE headers. I believe the 351 was the standard engine and changes were made to accept the others.

Marc,
I don't know what HOC was selling the Johnex cars for but up here they ranged from $55,000 CAD and up for a turnkey, substantially less than a Superformance up here. remember too that the frame and body were made here with Canuck Bucks and should have been pretty attractive with the exchange rates as they have been.

Wayne,
I know it looks deserted, but there is a little activity there. John Smythe of Heritage Coach Trimming works out of one of the back bays. He did the interiors for the Johnex cars. I'm close enough geographically to have watched as the parts for my car were brought together and had a few conversations with John and his successors. What a story! As you say, you get only one side of the story, so, like you, I'll keep that to myself.
