.....I told Ralph about my little expedition this past weekend with the yellow Starliner to the short track. "And they are", he proceded to explain, after checking out the two bolt main 390 in my 3900 pound 119" wheelbase weapon of choice, "you've got too much racecar and not enough engine."After I told him that the big ol' Galaxie was all I had, he told me to drop by the airport..........and bring a trailer. He promised me that all my problems would be solved as soon as that 7000 RPM kit, cross bolted main, high riser 427 in that little Fairlane fired up. What's better than havin' friends in high places? Having friends in air spaces, Douglas International Airport air space, that is.PS- I built the models, I set up the shot, I took the picture and designed and added the logos. They are MY PROPERTY!!.......and if I decide to (which I most certainly have) share this with the folks on this board, I would be insulted and dissappointed if you didn't download, print, save and share it with anyone who would enjoy it! Now when I get my calendar ready to print, that might be a different story. LOL Photobucket

How do you get a "hi-riser" 427 to fit under the hood of a Fairlane?? You definitely need the hood bubble to fit that monster and be able to close the hood.LOL. BTW, is that a 396 on the hood of the 17 above?? That engine was one of my favorites!!What a beautiful build, Jerry.Pete

Thanks guys. I'm having a ball sharing pics with everybody here. And yes Pete that's a 396 stroker engine in my little Ford. Got a weight break with it and the 374 engines.

I loved that stroker 396. I think it worked out to about 290 lbs. less weight. Great choice!!Pete
