Well my first car was NOT the one i wanted , I had my eyes on a 58 Ford two door with a 352 4 bbl . My mother did not like it and SHE found a 56 Ford Rag top that was owned by a old school teacher she had in high school . And that is what i ended up BUYING with MY money . It has a 292 four bbl. and a automatic .Along with power steering that i hated . Well the four Bbl gave way to dual quads and 312 blower heads were added along with and ISiky cam and a mallory dual point and head man headers and a Detroit locker . It as faster then the best 283 around . But i still hated that car . Kept it a year and tradeed it off for a 61 Ford Sunliner that had a strait six and a three speed that gave way to a 352 dual quad and a four gear that gave way to a hand built 390 tri power that was born from a bare block bare heads and a 391 ford truck crank with gt 40 rods and a Custom built crowler true roller cam and all sorts of perverted goofy ideas never tried or heard of before . And ended up with a monster that looked like Maw's grocery getter , super quite and even keeping the stock hub caps . Bad enough to lift the ft wheels off the ground when coming off the line at 6 grand. NOW that car i loved and was not afraid to put it to the mat . some said i was crazy in my driving most would not ride with me . Learned early on that hey ya know if a clutch blows that it can come thru a scatter shield and slice the steering shaft like a knife and remove the master cylinder off the fire wall and poke big holes thru the hood , make big dents in the floor boards all the way back to the back seat . and made engough power that a brorg Warrner T 10 four gear would blow under full throttle when hammering the gears . Had to up grade the transmission . . I had some really nice Fast cars back in my youth , and my love for pony power has never faded . If the factory would not supply ample pony power then we would just have to IMPROVE on it .
