That's right the 60 has a new home in Orlando. Chris and his father drove up today and took my sweet '60 south.
I must admit, I'm not as happy as I thought I would be once I sold her. She is going to a good home, but I will miss her.
So now I move on and it is time for a type 4 for the Thing. Look out world, I'm getting a BIG block. _________________ 73 Typ481

WOW!! John is about to have a 481!
I dug the engine out this week while cleaning up for the Excellence article...
She is ready to be cleaned up and installed :-)
I'll even deliver it! _________________ Jake Raby

This engine will be able to turn my big grippy tires and I won't need the road any more. :wink: _________________ 73 Typ481

OK.. It'll be on the dyno and ready for pick up or delivery the end of this week :-)
I'd expect it to make around 100HP, we'll see...
BTW- You'll need a dizzy too... I'll use a test unit for the dyno session. _________________ Jake Raby

That would be good. I have several distributors around, but no 050s. _________________ 73 Typ481
