I will tell you that Clevelands/Windsors/Clevors can make lots and lots and lots of power. That 777 hp 434ci Clevor is not out of the ordinary.
But I will also tell you the Clevelands/Windsors/Clevors don't have near the pedigree of a Ford FE. Nor the nostalgia. Nor the looks.
Mike, when you did your burnout, did the slicks smoke right away? I have always found that fresh slicks wil smoke right away, but old hard tires, take much longer to get the smoke rolling off them. Hardly scientific, but could indicate how subtle the rubber compound is after sitting several years. Also, soft tires will usually have lots of rocks sticking to them, but older tires don`t cause the rocks to stick as well.
Good on Summit...

It’s sad that they get away with this stuff. Probably have an army of lawyers that squash the little guys
Rory, I've been going to Carlisle for a very long time. I would highly recommend going to the Ford show in June instead of spring. When Carlisle started with the specialty shows, spring and fall really fell of.
How have I not heard of this? Wow, that's a big show. Back in the day we had it near me...the Great Western show at the LA County fairgrounds. Politics closed that down about 20 years ago. I think I may have to plan a trip to OK next year!
I've given up on the swap meet, and I live a little less than 2 hours away. Once upon a time, it was a phenomenal swap meet.
I'll take them Doug. Sent a response on the 63 grille.
