Hello everyone. Its about time I introduced myself. My names Pete, I live in Bradford and I'm a friend of Kenny Murray. We've teamed up to get the Ford Pop back on the strip. I am putting the Engine and all the cabling and electronics in it. The engine is almost ready to go to the dyno, but work has been very busy so engine building is struggling to get a look in at the moment. Its a 496 big block Chevy, comprised of a Cola Stroker crank, Manley rods, Ross pistons, Herbert roller cam, Herbert roller lifters, Crower rockers, Merlin iron heads and Manley stainless valves and Kennys tunnel ram with a pair of Holley 660 cfm carbs. The car is moving very soon to a place we can both get to more easily, so hopefully we can get somewhere near race condition before the season is over.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes it would seem that Kenny thinks I'm his bitch. I'll let him think that while really he will be my bitch. WLR, yes it would be good to meet up. I was in Halifax today and will be back there from time to time, as I have a customer there. I hire, sell and install pro audio in clubs, bars and festivals, and what used to be the tube club which is now Platform is a venue we have just re-fitted the sound into.
