370" Cammer! |

I've mentioned this FE in passing a few times. Thought it was about time to lay some proof on you FEnatics. Tonight I'll just post three pics I took this afternoon when I stopped by Dick Flynn's shop.
He has the mill out of an all steel deuce Bonneville roadster for freshening/prepping for some dyno flogging. This particular '32 Ford has been run at Bonneville for many years powered by a variety engines/powertrains. I think it was originally built by the Markley Brothers of Calif. but now is owned by Gary Harms, Spokane, WA. Dick is the engine owner/builder.
Just the basic facts tonight:
'68 427 hydraulic service block. Sleeve reduced bores and 361 steel crank = 370 C.I. For a specific Salt Flat class. Dick Flynn rods/pistons/cams and oh yes, those cammer heads he made hisself from a big chunk-o-billet aluminum. He ran modified original cammer heads(Still has 'em) but did some damage thanks to mallory metal letting loose from the crankshaft at 8,000 rpms on a chassis dyno. So what the hey, Dick makes a new set and makes them much better. |
