I am looking for a nice roller drag car. Has to be very close to a drop engine/trans in and go racing situation, I do not have time for a big project. 60s vintage only.
Let me know if you know of anything, Thanks.

FE Technical Forum / Help finding Washers for Blue Thunder style Valve cover bolts
« on: May 06, 2021, 11:41:05 AM »
I just called McMaster-Carr and they do not have these. I am in need of a source for the tiny washers that go under the 3" long bolts that hold down the Blue Thunder style and Fe Power style valve covers. Any help would be appreciated

FE Technical Forum / Re: SOHC Rockers
« on: April 15, 2021, 08:38:06 PM »The bashing will continue, until he can no longer scam people out of their money. This hobby is expensive enough. Don't need people to lose what they have worked for, and have dreamed about for a lifetime.
Nice.
When will the Jim Dove bashing begin?
Funny how Ford FE forums like to throw many performance parts pioneers under the table.
Before Edelbrock who was making ANY FE parts? Let me guess - Jim Dove.
Who else spent a fortune to resurrect the SOHC 427 heads and associated hardware?
Did Mr. Coon make mistakes? Yes of course he did. Did some pre-pay for parts they never received? I have heard yes.
Did some eventually get the parts they pre-paid for? I have heard yes to that as well.
How many times have we heard that pre-paid parts were never delivered by some well known FE shops? A few times yes.
Many businesses who supply custom low volume parts require pre-payment. Sometimes there are issues will delivering parts
that are not entirely the fault of the business owner.
The thanks Jim Dove gets are few.
The thanks Mr. Coon gets are also few.
I think they both deserve some respect for attempting to get something to FE racers.
Did Jim Dove make badass parts when no one else did, yes. Nobody is saying anything contrary to that fact. Did he have less than stellar business practices that caused many guys to waste money on parts that were unusable, YES.
Does Bill Coon still continue to rip people off to this very day? YES, he just burned a good friend of mine for $2500.
You are missing the ENTIRE point....

Gerald is definitely not related to or in any way connected to Bill. He is a friend of mine and does top notch work, the SOHC rockers are made from ultra high end Swedish alloy, I have seen them in person, they are extremely nice.
