All these decades I thought it was me

Mine would've made 710 hp with great heads, 270 cam, single plane, and a bigger carb. Oh ya, the extra 9 cubes would have helped also. I'm sure the torque would've went from 641 to 670 as well.

She's still running great. The new owner just updated me on Sunday.

P.S. On pump gas.

It should made 750 with those things you listed.

Buyer making any changes yet, small or large?

I feel your pain mine was held back by those stock 45 year old Ford Iron head castings also.

I guess we'll have to live with our actual #s until we build something else, won't we.

Cale Yarborough, muscular and tenacious, quit the Clemson football team to race stock cars.

Apparently, people do not ask him about his titles in 1976, ’77 and ’78 as much as they ask him to recall the second race of the 1979 Winston Cup season, the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18. Yarborough helped make Nascar nationally famous that day.

Richard Petty won the race, but Yarborough got into a fistfight with Bobby and Donnie Allison in the infield after he and Donnie Allison thumped into each other several times while racing on the backstretch at Daytona International Speedway.

It was the first Nascar race to be televised in its entirety to a national audience, and the fistfight, not the race itself, caused a commotion. More people started tuning in to races on Sundays to see what these good ol’ boys might do to each other next.

“I’ve told that story several million times, and I’ll do it again,” Yarborough said in a teleconference last week. “I had the fastest car and had it set up to where I could slingshot him on the last lap. That may have been a mistake on my part.”

After a pause, he said: “I should maybe have gone on and passed him, go on and won the race handily. I was trying to make a show out of it. Unfortunately, it really came out to be a show. It was one of the best things ever happened in Nascar.”

Yarborough said that he made up with the Allisons the next day and that they had been friends ever since. Bobby Allison, who won the championship in 1983, visited Yarborough at his farm recently, he said. It is still probably the most famous racing fight."

I didn't want to rub it in that deep, but what the hell.

He hasn't changed one thing. He loves it...... I had emailed him due to a buyer that wanted his contact info to buy the car. He told me that he wouldn't sell it for any amount of money.

I keep telling him injection and tail pipes and that car is DONE. He did say that he's starting to get the bug to take it to a couple events come spring with his Son.

Some of us back up our big mouths. Time will tell in your case.

Only a Ford owner would put cast iron heads on an aluminum block.....

I'd add hyd roller to that list and it's a cooler version of the LS.
