Got my March 2013 issue of Car Craft yesterday, and after reading through it I came to the Rear View page, where they often show nostalgia stuff. And there was a beautiful, full page photo of Jack Chrisman's 1969 Mustang funny car, complete with the blown SOHC. I was shocked though when reading the caption: "Details about this car are scarce, but we know from the photos it has a blown Ford engine on nitro. Looks like a 385 series big block making it likely a 429."
Apparently the editor, Douglas Glad, wrote the caption. I've met him, and worked with him on my Low Buck 390 article for Car Craft, and he seems like a pretty good guy. I've also run into him at the Car Craft Summernationals, in my Galaxie, powered by the SOHC. He and Jeff Smith have both seen the car, and Smith took a photo of the engine that appeared in the magazine. But apparently they didn't look close enough at Chrisman's Mustang before writing the caption.
I went on the Car Craft message board and somebody else had already seen this; I added a few comments. Douglas, Douglas, Douglas, I am so disappointed...
