1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Used to build engines for a local stock car driver (Yes they were Fords!!!) He won many championships. Also build a few engines for tractor pulling. last one was a 450 Chevy, Hilborn fuel injected, twin McLaren turbos running on pure methanol at about 30 lbs boost. They had to get custom gears make for the tranny to keep them from breaking!!! They wanted more torque and installed a V12 WW2 tank engine, then later a Rolls Royce Merlin. Lots of fun a long time ago!!!
