I'm new to this site - but probably not the average "newbie" on engine stuff. One of the members mentioned that he'd been referred to my site (Survival Motorsports) from here, and I felt it best that I return the favor and try to contribute from time to time as best I can. I specialize in FE engines, but have about thirty years of performance industry experience and can likely help out on tech questions for most engines. I managed Speed-Pro for Federal-Mogul for about a dozen years, and worked at Holley for around eight. Survival is roughly four years old now.
I'll try to drop in as often as I can.

Re: Dropping in...
from Lake Elsinore, SoCal. Barry, your reputation proceeds you. I've had FE powered vehicles myself since the mid sixties. Was always the odd man out cause I didn't drive a Chebby...the slings and arrows I suffered (yeah right as my 56 Ford Wagon beat the c@#p outta dem Chebbies!). I've read may articles about you and your FE knowledge is AMAZING. It's an honor to have you here!

Re: Dropping in...
Welcome Barry.
Good to see that you made it over here. I enjoy reading your posts on other FE Forums as well as following along with your EMC entries. Congrats on your finish this year, by the way! It's good to see someone representing the FE platform as well as you do.
On a side note, I plan to contact you pretty soon about a hydraulic roller cam for my build.

Re: Dropping in...
Barry, the 4.25 stroker put my 390 @ 446 ci and now it's going to take me a while to tame that beast. Thanks for all the great support on my build I couldn't of done it without you. God bless, and welcome to FORDification.
