Wow! It was ‘98 in Bristol when I heard him at one of the performance seminars he was hosting and he was talking about 904 internals inside of a 727 case and the 9 inch ford... I still laugh at the quote “The most important thing to know about a 9 inch ford and reliability is that in when we build one, we use no parts that are actually made by ford, including the housing... it actually costs just as much if not more to build one instead of a Dana and the Dana has less frictional loss than the ford rearend” It still amazes me how much technology in our hobby has changed since back then... I especially remember an older gentleman venting about the new generation being raised by MTV and them believing the junk they had was worth a fortune... all I can think now is I really feel for him if he’s around now to witness our up and coming generation...
