Chuck's car is pretty nice.
He lives in a middle class part of town. The car's worth a bit more than the house!
If anyone needs a 427 engine rebuilt, my DAD has built several that where raced on Riverside, Ontario and other tracks here in SoCal.
He built the 302/331 stroker motor that was in my '67 fastback. After I sold the car the new owner took it to a shop for dyno tunning. The shop owner said that it was the highest hp street smallblock ford that he worked on!
Back in the early 70's they where running them on short tracks. the team that he built motors for was in the hunt for the local championship. So they decided to let a MAJOR named guy rebuild the engine. All year long zero engine problems on my dad's builds.
250 lap race with the "PRO built motor" at the near-end of the race the oil pan blew off! seems the rings had been installed wrong and enough blow-by filled the oil pan and some how ignited
Right now he's dropping in a "mild" 428 CJ in his '57 ford. My younger brother John used to drag race this engine...
It was in my dad's '68 ford f250 camper hauler!! it ran 11.50 at the brotherhood strip in Long Beach. My brother got kicked out for no saftey gear and blowing up the tranny at the line.
John was a young punk when this happened at didn't tell my dad about the drag runs or how he blew up the trans. doing nuetral tranny drops.
