Re-restoration in progress for some vintage racing

You should probably let them know it is not a stock Ford cast blockI spun the old 289 engine to 7,500 for 6 years before it went boom. This engine has a 302 block and bottom end. It’s limited by the 66 OE 289 heads. I’m spinning this one to 7,700 so it’ll last. It’s built to turn 8k+
If people READ the thread, they'd know that
As a refresher, the block is a brand new in 2015, Boss 302. Siamese bored, 4 bolt mains, blah blah blah. Expensive internals and internally balanced. That, my friends is why it has not blown up...yet. That and I don't put it together anymore
Yes, yes it is and...it's spectacular!
I went back and re-read this thread. Haven't laughed so hard for so long in a very long time. You guys are great comic relief!

Not only can you spin them to 7k, it's an absolute beautiful sound!

So when is race day?
Next May
It’s Alive!
Is that the new hybrid engine set-up?
Yep, it burns gas and rubber.
Coming to a racetrack near you.
I sure hope you did something this off-season for a driver mod. That car deserves it.
Lots of laps in the sim.
After a cleaning, clay bar and some ceramic coating. Can’t really complain about the paint after 21 years of abuse.
Pretty spiffy!
The auction for the car has gone live at Hemmings!
