Howdy P,
Besides stepping off another High-Speed Weekend of serious hide burning (we ain't got a nearby drag strip, so we have our annual "Da Bike Show" at Roy's Repair, a surrealistic event where local racers boil the remaining rubber off their bikes using the streets of Minneapolis as the friction medium, to commemorate the end of the racing season) and junkyard hopping at Joe's Auto salvageyard, I'm pretty swamped with bringing a new product to the pilot production line at work right now, so my writing time is kinda thin.
I definitely appreciate the FE marine info you've introduced in so many forms. If I recall, you've posted more FE marine info than anyone.
As for more info on my end, I have just picked up a stack of "Automotive Industries" and "Ward's Quarterly" (managerial type) car mags from the early sixties, and I suspect they may have some oddball info on marine and other FE/FT applications. Time is preventing my browsing through them right now.
One interesting post I'm following up on is over at the FordFE.com forum, ref: http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/message?forumid=74182&messageid=1002383923 . I still don't know where these blocks were cast at (I have a friend with several and I need to make time to visit his shop to see the foundry symbols on them), but they were apparently machined in Flat Rock, Michigan. The Donzi connection puts commercial logic to the lot.
As I find more info (and time), you can be sure I'll be posting. If I can get my grubby mitts on those prints, you can bet I'll be modeling them up in 3-D and making fresh prints from the model.
Shoe. |
