Default Let the others talk

George Anderson Let the others talk. Your friendliness and knowledge speaks for itself. You where right on the lifters. I'm a putz. I have watched you race at the Run&Gun every year when you went since 95. While your car is always fast and you cheat with an automatic, I have never seen it break. You pound the car to it's limit, get as much track time as you can. Drag race to set your sandbagging times up, all which are in the 11's and maybe a tenth apart. Your car is solid. Now to the other things. Some people had problems with distributor gears being chewed up in the shelby, You where 1 of the first that I heard had the fix for it. Poris heads that suck oil. You fixede a set of heads from A top builder who probablity had a trainie to the work on porting, over cut the port on the intake and when the motor expanded it sucked oil into the #6 cylinder. The pushrod hole was fixed 2 times before you repaired it. It's still holding fine. I am not bad mouthing anyones work. 95% of these car have the crap beat out of them everytime the key is turned. Georges motors will only win awards at Run&Gun and other races of this nature. The motors hold up well. I have talked to Kuntz on the phone, If I was going for NHRA records I would send him my motor and 40Grand to build it. I don't know Keith Craft so I can only say he builds FE motors and have heard nothing bad about them in the circle of people I know. There are 2 others who build motors that I have seen racing that motor changes are common with. Rods out side of blocks, holes in oil pans, pushrods through the bottom of pans, Hard racing has something to do with this but not every year the same problem. The next motor I get built will be a Gessford motor. The record speaks for itself. Thanks George for the good time and info you have given me on my motor. The cobra and the FE motor are making a comeback, They are not going away. To all the FE builders, This is a small world we live in and the computor makes it smaller. You are all in the people bussiness and producing a product. The smart people read up on the problems some people have with there motors and if the same name keeps coming up, you are going to lose out on work. Many FE builders have gone the way of the Dinasour. I hope that the ones still doing this will be around for the next 50 years. George in your case 40 years than you can retire . My 2 cents Thanks again George for the help. Rick Lake
