Ron- To address a few issues here, as we get older many begin to complain harder , louder , and faster. I for one became a fan of HP FORDS after attending some of your early shows at your business back in the day. Your involvement in the performance Ford world was a special place for many to be a part of. I seemingly spent every paycheck to make my cars faster, cooler than all of my buddies because of your involvement of the hobby. I bought, sold, traded, many engines and components with you over the years, and learned what worked and didnt work with different engine combinations. The engine that sits in the engine bay of my 67 currently was a HOLMAN MOODY 427 medium riser with race history behind it it. This is the engine combo that I hope to be the fastest original SHELBY, besting the super snakes speed of 175 mph. You planted the seed for a pimply faced teenager... With a need for speed! As a side note on occasion you would make your way out to the valley where we street racers would gather with your 67... HIGH RISER bad boy and tell everyone it was a worn out 390!
Ahh lessons learned for those that paid attention. One of my last dealings with you, I brought 2 HOLMAN MOODY 427 cammers, that were crate engines. One was an injected version making over 700 hp the other was a dual quad version making around 650 hp. Glad your still involved with the hobby, dont let the small stuff get to you. Be healthy , be safe.
