Notice the prototype of the 180 degree isoramic intake manifold over JC's left shoulder sitting on top of a box. I hope Hendick Motorsports doesn't get wind of this picture

Doug, are you really suggesting under the thicker winter clothing  lay the fine tuned dynamic slim bodies of batman and robin in the batcave? Yes! that head stand sure makes sense for wrestling those heads around on a bench and pinched fingers, got to go and make one, see there is a leak allready! regards bill.

I dont think it qualifies as a speed secret, but notice the head holder adapted to an engine stand.  For those of us who have wrestled a set of heads on a bench that is a revelation!  Another secret? do it in the winter so you can wear a lot of layers of clothes staying warm and (relatively) clean.

Barry you have done it now, as for as I know those are the first inside pictures of the YesterTech skunkworks that the outside world has seen. By the way I spent Christmas day welding up a set of ladder bars for the falcon.

Those of you who are familiar with the Seinfeld show will recall George's dad celebrated "Festivus" after growing tired with traditional Christmas festivities. Jerry Christenson and I, over the past few years that i've gotten to know him, trade annual "Favorable Festivus" cards. This year was different; Rita and I decided to travel to Minneapolis for a little get-a-way....shopping,casinoing and of course a visit with the Y maestro. On Jerry's request,I brought along a set of heads for porting. Here's a few pics of us having our Festivus feast in his shop Christmas day and one of cast iron flying.We spent quite a few hours grinding,scrub bashing,plus a shop trip to see a .040 over 428 Fe dyno with Jerry's 6x2 carb set-up that he lent for testing.(427hp) Jerry showed me all (I hope ) his trade secret porting tips....we didn't finish the complete job,but I'm confident I can finish what we started.Thanks Jerry....we have a really great group of Y folks on this site...who else would spend Christmas in the shop passing on Y info??    Barry L in Manitoba
