Missed your earlier post...lo siento. That 496 Joe is building for Smitty (Dick) is to replace the brand new rebuild Smitty sorta imploded at the Historics last August, which made the Fliptop play slip n' slide. Neat how these historic cars' cross paths nearly half a century later.
That build is behind several, as you say. Some teeny weeny Offys for some midgets, some full blown fueler drag motors, some pretty flatheads (with Strombergs no less), a Shelby block going into an original GT40, and some other stuff.
Joe used to hop up my Dad's and other Armenian farmers' pickups in the 60s...great drag races in the vineyards.
626
That is a nice build sheet!
