40th anniversary of this funny movie. Could you imagine the uproar if this movie came out today with all these thin skinned people we have running things now.

 Just curious the scat cranks that we are using use Chevy bearings for the rods. Do they also use Chevy bearings for the mains. And when you get a new crank does it go in standard or are they cut .010 from the get go. Of course I wouldnt order anything till I take it apart but just wanted to ask ahead of time.  So the reason Im asking is I have about 1500 street miles and a ballpark 60 1/8 mile passes and about 50 1/4 miles passes. No over revving or anything but as you guys know when I went of the track although I didnt see any dirt in intake when I took off carbs some dust could have been sucked in and im sort of looking to nip it in the bud so to speak. Any opinions.

 So apparently back in 1964 Ford made a Semi truck that ran off of a turbine engine. The big three all made one and Fords was at the 64 worlds fair with the mustang. After that Ford did a country wide tour with it. When it proved that it wasnt practical three big three crushed there prototypes. But wait the website The Drive is looking for Big Red because they believe it wasnt crushed. Rumor has it that it was decommissioned in the end of 1971 and through talking to a bunch of Ford people around the country people were saying thatHolman and Moody got ahold of it and put it in a warehouse somewhere and forgotten about. It was engineered by Roy Lunn (mister GT 40). When John Holman took over he had a everything must go yard sale of the century. Big Red was sold to an anonymous buyer and disapeared. I know alot of the guys on the forum know alot about  H&M so I was just wondering if anybody has even seen it. The middle trailor was sold to a team called Bardahl autolite racing which was a hydroplane boat racing team.

Is there a spot to look at your messages that you sent. I cant seem to find it just my inbox. Or should i say that when I send a message it doesnt save.

Hey guys have a great day. Happy Father’s Day.

Hey guys dropped pan to fix pan that got pushed up and dropped 1rod cap to check bearing (good). What is the torque on a scat H beam rod. Thanks.

So took car out for the first time after surgery. Wasn’t running that great till it ran for a little while, took it for a ride adjusted carb and all was good. Took it for a couple of short rides all good. Just got back from a pretty good ride maybe 20 miles. Got home readjusted carb running mint, shut it off and one of the kids wanted to go for a ride. Start it up take off and all of a sudden it doesn’t want to shift automatically into 3rd. It’s a TCI tranny and it’s my second one that I’ve had and both of them shift 1-2 within 20 feet and into third about 50 -75 feet. Now it’s shifting into second at 75 feet and doesn’t shift into 3rd. Now I just put a new manifold on and ran a new modulator hose, which I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have burnt  a hole in it but will check of course but that would kill my back. Tranny cooler was nice and cool after the ride and it’s 80 degrees and a little humid. Could the modulator have taken a dump. This tranny only has maybe 1000 miles on it.

So was looking at racing videos and came across a koenigsegg Agera it did 250 miles per hour in 27 seconds and from 250 mph to 0 in 9.5 seconds. Yeah I know we can’t afford it but WOW. What was the time that the AC cobra did 0-100-0 in 12.5 or 13 sec. And that’s fast!
                                             0-250-0 in 38 seconds.     And that’s stupid fast!

And they just came out with a car that is faster than this.
