I thought this was a Blair Patrick engine? What happened with it?

Yes, he is dead.

Questioning the tins Adam's & Paquet have/had on the T-Bolt's pales compared to what they let the AH cars get away with! I know Kurt has Paul's 64 now but Paul made that car what it is! It was a direct competitor for Ray! Since Kurt got it, it's not the killer it was.

I can guarantee you, Pond does not turn that HR in that range.

Carbs fit under that scoop?

I watch , DragBoss garage, Tim had Darrin Morgan on and someone asked him to explain the work he did on the S/S hemi head package. He described how he spent 4 months redesigning the heads to get them to work, under what is acceptable to NHRA. They are completely changed from a stock head, not even close. Very intriguing what work he accomplished, and still make them acceptable. Let's face it, far from stock, with 4 months development by a man I consider , one of the best ever.
Ray is accomplishing what he has with a very different program ,and a very different set of rules. Plus it's Ray's work. He does the development.

Charlie Wescott had a lot to do with Ray picking up a bunch!

Nice!
