The Lincoln DOHC 5.4 they are in junk yards everywhere, but not for $100. This is the baddest motor made in the US. It finished 1st,2nd,3rd, in the engine masters contest last year. It's gone 5.80's, 220 on turbo alky. anyone (but a Chevy guy) could just buy a carb top & run a distributer off one of the cams, have the cams reground, new pistons & rods & have a real Hemi Cammer that will fly for cheap. All the Chrysler & Chevy guys cried the blues after the bad Fords ran in the Engine masters last year, I am sure that they will never allow them back.

Oh, I was thinking 427 SOHC or the Boss 429. I will have to look at the Lincoln DOHC Engine masters contest.

Finished the body work now on my home built special. I could run it now as is but as we approach autum and winter here in the Southern Hemisphere I will now strip it paint and detail ready for next season. When I was in my 20's it took me 9 months to build my FED. Now in the top end of my 50's it's taken 2 years ! I can't wait to go racing again 26 years this month since my last trip down a race track and I have some of the same crew now that I had then with the youngest being 56 and the eldest at 74.
Cheers
Tony
