THanks Art.
THe older guy is really a character, I'm thinking that he still thinks the Civil WAr is raging in Georgia... I can call him 10 times a day with questions and he's never acted put out. Takes time to explain his ideas and why they will work.
I'll bet he still tunes engines by ear. Has alot of Boss 429 stuff, actually a sh** load of every kind of Ford Big block stuff.
He's kind of like your GrandPa.. You just knew he knew what he was talking about. THe local guy has an excellent rep on Ford stuff too. He has all the toys at his disposal. Dyno Etc Etc... I will say the local guy says I don't need forged pistons, MY CR should be 10-1 or lower, Stock rockers, smaller carb. Ha Ha Ha when I mentioned to my Granpa that the local guy suggested a Quadrajet he went nuts.. G** D** Chevy sh**.. The old guy
Is really giving me break on parts. I asked up here at a TRans shop about going over a C-6 and they told me 1500. THe old guy says( I've learned all the tricks with these C-6's and I'll build ya a good one for 400 exchange...)
So thats my quandry.. Oh and to add more drama one of my best friends who knows Ford engines too but over thinks everything. is friends with the local engine guy.. HOL* SH** ..
