Great story, John.  I wish I had been there to see it.  Nick Brann, K.C., MO

John..

Your a good man and good Y-Blocker... cancel out the false belief that 57 scrubs are .....??

Brother and I own/operate 1957 Ford Fairlane 312/4x2 and two 1963 Falcons 302 rollers carburated 600cfm, FE427 sitting in shed..

Well, yeah. A supercharged Y-block is far more impressive than a cookie-cut dual 4 Chevy.

Today I attended an antique aircraft fly-in and show, coupled with an old car display.  They parked me next to a '57 scrub convertible that looked over-restored to me.  Even his dual quad "batwing" air cleaner had more gloss than my whole car.  I was driving the '57 Bird with F power.  My car is a driver, and even a pure stock drag racer.  Well, guess which one got more attention, by about a 2-1 margin.  The scrub finally packed his lawn chairs and left before the air show was over.
