Illegal '58 Ford
By Travis Miller - 09/16/2002 10:18:14 PM; IP 152.163.189.232
While working as a techman at Beech Bend Raceway at Bowling Green, KY in the mid 70's, a '58 Ford 2-door sedan showed up one Sunday trying to run Stock Eliminator. The driver was claiming it as a 352 4v with a 3-speed. The car had a low riser aluminum intake painted the same color as the engine. The heads had the casting numbers ground off. When I crawled under the front of the car to look at the engine block, I could see the large HP casting mark above the generator. I told the guy that I did not believe he had a 352. In fact I thought it was a 406 and the track would put up the protest money for the engine to be pumped. He asked if he could get his entry fee returned. I signed his tech card and sent him back to the front gate. I never saw the car again at Beech Bend or any other dragstrip I teched at in Kentucky.
This thread, so far...
