We went to a 50th birthday party a couple of Saturdays ago
Here are a couple of pictures of his car and his cake. It must of taken hours to make that cake

 

[DarisMulkin]

Took hours to make and minutes to eat. How was it?

Something looks wrong with that picture, Jon. I thought the British put the steering wheel on the wrong side, and you guys put the steering wheel upside down.
I do hope that's a Chevy engine... spark plug wiring had me stumped for a minute.

 

[Darol Wester]

I think it's a Ford. The valve cover doesn't look Chevy and neither does the water pump. The exhaust pattern looks like Chevy, though I might get fooled. Nice car.

When I was down there, we went to a race and found it interesting that they all drove on the right side of the car but they still raced counter clockwise. It would be weird not being on the inside of the curve in the car I'd think, unless of course, that's how you were raised.

I was thinkin that too................. but a 96 and up SBC 350 has the distributor up front under the water pump (note the plug wires)
Here's the bolt pattern on the rockers.

Then again, the head angle don't look Cheby.
Jon?

 

[Jon]

wifey thinks its a 34 Ford but we are checking

 

[highup]

I'm not good at dating cars and models.............. unless it's a '73 Chevy 1/2 ton stepside pickup.
I'm thinkin the car is a 32, but it's really the engine, that Darol and I were questioning. Chevy or Ferd.

Same here. Chevys heads are a bit more angled out than what I see in the picture. That's with all the small blocks I've worked on anyway. The newer ones might be different. Love those small blocks. I've got a 350 in my boat. Great motors!

Saw Clint who owns the car last night
its 32 Ford Tudor Corvette with a 350 Cubic inch computer contolled LT1 with a 9 inch Posilock diff

 

[Darol Wester]

Yep. That's a new one on me. And it's been around for a while too. So much for my knowledge of the newer stuff. I googled LT1 and could see the distributor in front. I'll bet that thing's got some poop.

Stick it in your boat?

 

[Darol Wester]

Not a bad idea. I was looking at this one too. Ya need horsepower to run across the lake for bait and beer.

Jon, Of course it has the Posilock.
.......Probably Positrac.. another GM product which also enhances the value of a FORD above and beyond the addition of that GM LT1.

It does Darol......... my nephew had a '94 Caprice with an LT 1 and it got up and scooted.
Same Cubes as my 350, but the roller cam allows a much much longer range of torque.
Ya don't wait for it to wind up to the power range........... it's already there at the get go.

Ford had a really nice body for them GM parts to slip into.

You buying a couple of those Darol?

He'd get many more fish per gallon of petro with an LT1

What does it say that's no good?

I tried downloading the ghost site, but it doesn't work. Once it's done, it's nowhere to be found. Here anyway.

It says not spyware, but how does it track the sites that track you? hmmmmm

 

[havasu]

I downloaded it today, but Google must be mad now because my Google home page looks like an abbreviated version.
