And:
To clarify
These pics show a Engine running at 5,140 RPM, "Howling" and rapidly approaching 5,200 RPM!
Screaming!
 
We ran it up to 5,400 if I can recall
Power started dropping at 5,300
I tried to "snap" the pic at 5250 but missed the chance
 
Yeah well 45mph with 3.23 rear sounds pretty hefty these days!!!! Guess I'm getting old.
 
Merry Christmas Ed ! should be fun to open the package :thumbsup:
 
Y'all ain't gonna believe what I paid for that engine BTW. :)
 
I don't want to know; it better work!!!! My body shop guy showed me his 511cube-440 that came in at $25,000. It's awesome but it better go better than 10.50.....He put another 25,000 in the body on a '65 Fury.Whew
 
Is that like the teaser on the 6 o'clock news????
"Breaking news, when we return"
We're waiting.....

A case of Canadian Beer! Very valuable :lol:
One of my fondest memories of my trip to your fine country back in the late 80's - being initiated with the tradition of saying "Blue" to the bartender. :)
 
Heck I felt all happy just scoring a pair or nice black original arm rests off flea bay to replace the china junk year one sent me.
you find a complete engine LOL
