* Olds 455 30 over and balanced, crank is 10 and 10, hi volume oil pump with 6 1/2 quart pan. Crower hydraulic cam. G heads with port and polish, Ferrea stainless valves, Comp Cams roller rockers, and ARP head studs to hold then down. * Offy tunnel ram with a pair or Holley 600 vacuum secondary carbs. * MSD ignition and distributor * Custom side exit exhaust have removable caps * Dual pass aluminum radiator with electric fan * Th 400 transmission and 3500 rpm Coan stall speed * 3.90 Richmond gears. locker differential and 28 spline Superior axles * 1956 Ford F100 front axle with disc brake conversion with line lock installed. 1956 F100 steering gear box rebuilt this year. * Full set of Autometer Gauges that all work with exception of the fuel pressure gauge that is just not hooked up. Yes it has a working speedometer. * Procar seats and Simpson harness on the drivers side with regular belt for the passenger. There are not a lot of frills in the interior. All windows go up and down. * M&H street strip tires in the rear, 275/60/15s on custom 10" rims. Protrack front runners on 3.5 wide slots. * Rear wheel wells have been pushed out to clear the giant tires and some of outer quarter panel has been trimmed to allow some of the original look. I did not want to tub it. * The body is in good overall condition and has some panels replaced like one rocker and one of the quarter panels. It does however have some body filler in one of the rockers and front of the fenders. The tilt front needs a little more body work to be as good as the rest of the car, but its not to bad. The floors are now all flat steel. * The tilt front is all steel and can be opened using one hand. Has a quick disconnect for the lights and can be removed easily. The hood can also be removed with screws holding it on. * Summit epoxy primer was used for the exterior finish sealing it up. So if someone wants to paint the car it would not be a huge ordeal. The engine was just though and has 54 miles on it. The transmission may have 200 miles or so on it. There is not much on the car that isn't fairly new or hasn't been replaced it the last few years. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the action early unless the reserve is met, then it will run to the end. The wet spots under the car in the pictures are from condensation from the exhaust. It was 15 degrees out when I took the pics |

Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
