Wow that thing is cool. It’s funny just the last week or so I have seen it on you tube and was thinking it’s got to be somebody’s from the forum. For me it’s just another Ford out there making a name for itself. Ya know we gotta stick together. There aren’t to many Y block dragsters out there Royce and she’s very nice. Congrats

Always get a kick out of seeing that thing  :)
Vintage racers and FED's are just cool. I'd rather watch that stuff than any modern "doorslammer" or turbo type cars. And no shock towers, so that always makes me jealous!

Very nice!! I've always been a 368 fan (never had one though) and always like the first gen T-Birds, too.

The Linc Y only lasted 5 years, in cars but, it's to bad that they never reach there full CI capacity. It would be a interesting story, as why it was discontinued so fast. They could have easily got 430 CI for '58 out of it, even 460.

Really cool Mr. Belcher :o
I shouldn’t rag on announcers, I’m probably just as bad.
Wonderful car.

Believe me  My name gets mangled worse than that regularly  lol    One of the announcers called it a contraption, which my scrub loving buddies picked up on immediately...And give me a whole load of crap about..

Car will run 9s with a little more tuning, but I don't want to bother with a license fire suit and diaper
