Its been a while....

More importantly where are you going to get the money for the gas for the 12.5 motor. If you have a money tree could you send me a few seeds, I really need it. I'm sure it would sound good killer, good luck.

 

race gas...it's only a bracket motor. When I'm done with racing it, I'll put a mild 393 Windsor. Cant afford to buy gas for this one to drive it on the street...

 

Who is doing your machine work?

 

Johnny Powell in Saucier, toward McHenry. I saw your Comet out on 49 the other day...That's a nice looking car.

 

Thanks, hope to meet you one day. Should be moving to Mchenry within the month.

 

Wow, I haven't heard that name in quite a few years. I purchased a 70 Boss 302 Mustang from him about 15-16 years ago. His Machine Shop was in Biloxi at the time. Next time you see him tell him Ray Parrish said hello.

 

Johnny's a pretty good guy. His shop in Biloxi went under water, so he moved north of the coast. Evacuated most of his equipment before the storm. I will prob be seeing him Monday or Tuesday.. Gotta unload the C block and crank from the back of the truck.. When I tore that thing down, it didnt even have a ridge in the cylinders...Still had factory rings, bearings, gaskets, etc. Gonna make a nice one, methinks.

 

Well, when you see him tell him my Boss 302 went underwater too. I had to sell it so it could be saved. It's in North Carolina now.

 

Johnny says haey Ray....Dude is covered up...will prob be first of june before mine is back....

 

Tell me where his shop is. Thanks Steve

 

Its kind of off the beaten path so to say. He works out of a small shop behind his home, just north of the new 67 overpass on 49. Coming toward Gulfport, it will be on the left side of 49.
