I wonder what Henry Ford would say if he was still around to see this????

Well, it says on the cover that 'this is the fourth for 2004'. I guess that that means the last issue of '04, as there are only 4 issues a year ?

BTW...the racer who owns this 'mess' is a great guy and has shared his knowledge somewhat with me who asks a million questions

He is also a VERY smart guy....as he was not the one in the driver seat as his creation blew it top at incredible rpms and top mph !!

What's incredible rpm & top mph?

Remember we're talking 4cyl B block here,eh.

It was said that when this B blk bi-furcated itself, that it was turning 6700rpm at 165mph !

I'd sure like to see the on-board video !!

Question:
WHEN is too much
