Keeping the historic Ford - Chevy Rivalry alive and well in good spirited nature is a good thing.

Default Tri Power

Received some great news today that the complete system has been shipped and should arrive in AUS on the 26th this month .This will allow a lot of work to progress setting up the FAST ECU and all the wiring , plumbing the car with the fuel system ,will have to see my son to start the build on the custom fuel tank ,great to have a sheet metal worker in the family as well as a panel beater without them i would be lost . Lastly i would like to thank Bruce @ F&B for his great effort in developing something unique for a FE Ford .Not a easy task when the only correspondance is by phone and email.
This guy has gone out of his way with this build and i would recomend his services any day . I am just waiting for the roller rockers and lifters for this engine build to be complete .

Are you planning a dyno session once it's together?

Thumbs up Tri Power build

Rob at this time i don't have the $$$$ to carry out a engine dyno .The intentions are to get it on the road and then to a chassis dyno .My engine builder built a 408 Windsor with twin turbo's for his 67 Fastback and has had some time setting up the EFI systems for it ,he recently moved premises and the engine dyno room has not been setup , hopefully the FAST system should'nt pose to many problems . Sadly we don't have a Jay Brown close buy.Hopefully the rest of the rocker gear will arrive soon which will allow the build to be completed .

Yea I wish Jay was around the corner instead of 1900 mi north east of here. It was a pretty cool road trip for me to head to his place.

You running a hydro roller? What kind of specs? did you go with the full tilt T&D or thier new lighter duty version?

Chassis dyno will get it done for tuning.

As long as you have Crocodile skin!


You know -- I was going to make some "anti" Ford statement... always trying to be funny and light hearted.... and then I realized that my track car is a Ford - I have a '32 Ford Roadster and I'm having a '33 Ford built. I think I just now figured that out!


Here's a shot of how my track car was set up -- noticed you're using similar struts in your build.

Yes they are simular something my son and i built on a Saturday morning. we have a local shop who specialise in building speedway cars and are Afco parts dealers they are a good source of rod ends and threaded alloy tube .Once the engine and radiator are fitted i will mke up the front bar .I am waiting on a AFCO dual pass radiator and will run some twin electric fans from a local falcon.Still plenty of work ahead , all the wiring , and running fuel lines once the exhaust is finished.Rob it looks great i am wrapped with it's visual appeal the FE motors dress up well . Can't wait for the day when we fire it up .
