RE: H.Ford Museum/Total Performance.

What a great trip/visit you had Dave. I was fortunate to have business take me to the Detroit area back in '94. While there I had to make it to Dearborn. Just to say I had been there once in my life and to see the Ford proving ground, the Glass House and of course, Henry Ford Museum. I was able to go to the museum twice while there for a week. Still wasn't enough for me.

John Vermeersch was a total gentleman to me and an associate. We just popped in on a Sunday to Total Performance. John happened to be there. His extremely cool '61 Country Squire was sitting outside. We were giving it a close up inspection and John stepped out the front door to see if we needed anything. I boldly said "We're looking for John Vermeersch". His reply, "Does he owe you money?"

John gave us a nice hour plus tour. He showed me a factory dual port tri power intake. Did you see that? What gives with that? We could only speculate. The runner ports look similar to what Offenhaeuser offered with their dual-port designs years ago.

Thanks too for the great news on Genesis. A local friend made the big purchase with them for one of their aluminum blocks. I think he has paid for most of it. Sold a bunch of his good old FE HP parts on eBay to do it. Stuff like a good 406 block and lots of other goodies. I'll e-mail him to let him know of your tour. That'll make his evening. His Genesis aluminum 427 is going into a '56 'bird that had been the home for his 406/405 w/Borg Warner T-85 O.D. He's keeping the trans just as it is.
This thread, so far...
