Don – to elaborate more on your and Rooman’s comments, that’s one main reason why all of us like to know history of an old race car.  Helps you right away assess the quality based on the reputation of the original builder.  Plus, many of us are history buffs, and the more archival accounts uncovered by pursuing leads, the more interesting the story.  A few of these cars over time received modifications, and knowing the reasons behind them may also help a person pinpoint its origin. 

Both Rooman and dreracecar are remarkable in recognizing the most insignificant items instantly just by looking at posted photos.  It demonstrates their focus and why we are lucky they both constantly contribute on this forum.  There’s many others as well.  I’m looking at a photo and thinking “nice” and “Bruce out of the blue” post a comment that’s simply valuable.  You selected a 392 since it originally had one?  Neat trailer.  Alan

Hi Alan

 Yes any history is great to know and helps understand the restoring process, The trailer is going to be restored also , its rough but cool, as for a 392, I have the motor and one of the landspeed team members has donated rods, pistons, cam, and a few other items for the build, so why not 392.  I think it was a jr fueler not sure . One nice thing is it has an original mickey Thompson 3rd member
